Product Description

Synopsis
Drawing on firsthand interviews and investigations, a journalist offers a balanced analysis of the endangerment of the world's pure species of tigers and the role of zoos, scientists, and politics in stopping it.

From the Author
BBC Wildlife magazine reviewed the book as follows,
Meacham is an intelligent journalist: shrewd, erudite and objective. He looks at the circus that has grown out of tiger conservation with a cool eye... Meacham doesn't pretend to be a Schaller. He has only ever seen one tiger in the wild and, indeed, this is not a book about tigers. But if you don't know the story and you are interested in the politics of conservation, this is for you.

Excellent view of the problems of animal conservation, 2 Jan 1999

By A Customer

Meacham has presented a wonderfully clear picture of a complicated issue without resorting to sentimentality or hype. He describes the international efforts and the machinations of the organizations involved in tiger conservation. In his dissection of the issues and roadblocks of saving a species, Meacham also gives us a portrait of the tiger: its value and role in both society and the environment. Meacham's writing style, with its informal and sometimes humorous twists, makes for fascinating reading. I'd insist this is a must not only for those interested in tigers, but also for anyone trying to understand the complexities of global conservation activities.
