Wolves hold an almost mythical status in the cultural history of europe and North America. For hundreds of years, they have been the subject of fairy tales and other lore, embodying mystery, cunning, and sometimes threat. People are drawn to their beauty, intrigued by their behaviors. Yet for those who live in close proximity to wolves, coexistence is fraught with many serious issues. Wolf management is an excellent model of human-nature interaction and the challenges that come along with it. This talk presents a new book analyzing the crucial relationship between human ethics, attitudes, and policy and the management of wolf populations in europe and North America. The contributors to this volume assert that these human dimensions affect wolf survival just as much, if not more, than the physical environment. The presentation also includes color photographs of wild wolves and drawings by wildlife artist Susan Shimeld. This 30-minute talk will begin immediately after the ecological role of Wolves session, and will be finished with an hour to spare before the afternoon sessions, in order for participants to get lunch.

Abstract
Wolves hold an almost mythical status in the cultural history of europe and North America. For hundreds of years, they have been the subject of fairy tales and other lore, embodying mystery, cunning, and sometimes threat. People are drawn to their beauty, intrigued by their behaviors. Yet for those who live in close proximity to wolves, coexistence is fraught with many serious issues. Wolf management is an excellent model of human-nature interaction and the challenges that come along with it. This talk presents a new book analyzing the crucial relationship between human ethics, attitudes, and policy and the management of wolf populations in europe and North America. The contributors to this volume assert that these human dimensions affect wolf survival just as much, if not more, than the physical environment. The presentation also includes color photographs of wild wolves and drawings by wildlife artist Susan Shimeld. This 30-minute talk will begin immediately after the ecological role of Wolves session, and will be finished with an hour to spare before the afternoon sessions, in order for participants to get lunch.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
