Summary, Etc. Note: |
Summary: Makes the important connection between the ecological, economic, and social factors essential for carnivore species conservation and the necessity of protecting the large connected expanses of land vital to their survival. It chronicles how age-old myths and misperceived notions about these animals devastated predator populations and brought many near to extinction when settlers made their way west -- myths that persist today. With dramatic footage and compelling stories, it shows how ordinary citizens in both rural and urban America are learning to coexist with predators and are protecting and restoring these magnificent species and their habitats. |
