A Global Perspective on Large Carnivore Conservation
The recent reintroduction of the gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) to Yellowstone signifies a constructive change, but the overall record in the United States on large carnivore conservation remains poor. Many developing countries are determined to do a better job of conserving predators, including their cr...
