Fascinating Story of Carnivores and Human Relationships

Humans have mixed emotions concerning carnivores, admiring their beauty as hunters, cosseting them as pets, and using their products in clothing, medicines, and cosmetics. However, they are also responsible for killing us and our livestock, carrying disease, and competing with us for space and food.

Conservation of Predators and Human Impact

While some advocate for the conservation of predators like wolves and tigers, others see them as vermin and want them gone. In this book, Hans Kruuk, a life-long naturalist with a passion for predators, tells the story of carnivores and our intricate relationships with them.

Wild Beauty, Conservation, and Human Impact
