Where Elk Roam: Conservation And Biopolitics Of Our National Elk Herd - 8722

$9.83

"Bruce Smith, who spent 22 years as the US Fish and Wildlife Service's biologist at the National Elk Refuge, tells its story with the bark off. And he ponders the future of supplemental feeding of wintering elk as a management technique as nobody else could -- or even dares." --Dr. Jack Ward Thomas, professor emeritus, University of Montana As one of the world's largest and most social deer species, elk are of immense interest to wildlife enthusiasts. Their 500-800-pound tawny bodies, sweeping antlers, and fascinating behaviors draw millions to seek them in national parks and other public lands. But in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, their conservation and management are intensely complicated. Where Elk Roam provides an inside look at the field studies and conservation work of a federal wildlife scientist who for twenty-two years served as the National Elk Refuge's wildlife biologist, coordinating winter feeding of 8,000 elk and tracking their births, deaths, and annual migrations throughout the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. It brings to life the joys and rewards of working with elk and other magnificent species--including wolves, bears, and mountain lions--and it entertains and educates while also moving readers toward active participation in conservation. Where Elk Roam was honored with a Montana Book Award.
