The carnivore way : coexisting with and conserving North America's predators / Coexisting with and conserving North America's predators by Cristina Eisenberg. - xvi, 308 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-285) and index.
Introduction : journey into wildness -- Part One. Wildways. Corridor ecology and large carnivores -- The ecological role of large carnivores -- Crossings -- Part Two. Where the carnivores roam. Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) -- Wolf (Canis lupus) -- Wolverine (Gulo gulo luscus) -- Lynx (Lynx canadensis) -- Cougar (Puma concolor) -- Jaguar (Panthera onca) -- Conclusion : earth household.
"Cristina Eisenberg argues compellingly for the necessity of top predators in large, undisturbed landscapes, and how a continent-long corridor--a "carnivore way"--provides the room they need to roam and the connected landscapes that allow them to disperse. Eisenberg follows the footsteps of six large carnivores--wolves, grizzly bears, lynx, jaguars, wolverines, and cougars--on a 7,500-mile wildlife corridor from Alaska to Mexico, along the Rocky Mountains. Backed by robust science, she shows how their well-being is a critical factor in sustaining healthy landscapes and how it is possible for humans and large carnivores to coexist peacefully and even to thrive."--Dust jacket.
