An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Theory and Practice of Wildlife Corridors
Anthem Press (Verlag)
978-1-78527-918-8 (ISBN)
An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Theory and Practice of Wildlife Corridors charts some best practices and makes some new theoretical contributions related to the design and creation of wildlife corridors in Anthropocene times. While the book will provide much of the knowledge necessary for a general and credible understanding of connectivity projects, it will also make a unique theoretical contribution to current knowledge about wildlife corridors by arguing that theories about compassion, empathy, and traditional ecological knowledge should inform wildlife corridor projects.
Amy D. Propen is faculty in the Writing Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is author of At Home in the Anthropocene and Visualizing Posthuman Conservation in the Age of the Anthropocene.
