Free Download Tim Sands, "The Wildlife in Trust: a Hundred Years of Nature Conservation"
English | 2012 | pages: 866 | ISBN: 1908739495 | EPUB | 44,5 mb
In May 1912, banker and naturalist, Charles Rothschild, laid the foundations for nature conservation as we know it today. His new organization, the Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves, had one main objective-to save Britain’s finest wildlife sites. The Wildlife in Trust is a history of The Wildlife Trusts. It charts the changing fortunes of UK wildlife and the nature conservation movement founded to protect it. Beginning with Rothschild’s first list of potential nature reserves in 1915, it covers: the landmark political Acts, the explosion of the local Trust movement in the 1960s and its subsequent development; the salvage and rescue operation to save woods, meadows, wetlands, bogs, and heaths; the dawn of marine conservation; the decline and recovery of species like the otter, plus the move to restore wildlife across whole landscapes. This is a tale of local activism, visionary leaders, hard-fought campaigns, organizational growing pains and battles lost and won. The Wildlife in Trust is divided into three sections: a history of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts; individual histories of all 47 Wildlife Trusts in their own words plus a comprehensive reference section. The book features more than 300 photographs and maps-including many from The Wildlife Trusts’ archives.

Yet, for Kobie and her family, the seventeen years spent in this spectacularly beautiful park proved to be the most magical – and occasionally the most hair-raising – of their lives.

Free Download Introducing Wildlife in Urban Ecosystems By Amartya Deb
2017 | 11 Pages | ISBN: 9383419547 | PDF | 1 MB
As urbanization sprawls into natural areas, the traditional space for wildlife is diminishing. At the same time, in very unique ways the urban is accommodating certain species of plant and animals. Can it be that in future the urban and natural will be one integrated unit? The book explores briefly a few critical aspects towards this vision. The novel and often incidental urban‐wild arrangements, natural capacity to adapt and human‐animal politics are discussed along with design measures, conservation policies and socioeconomic impacts. One of the significant features of the book has been to appreciate the characteristics of ‘wildlife’ so as to inject it within urban spaces through a range of methods.
