Reviews

‘In this book Simon Lyster has rendered a most valuable service to the cause of conservation of nature worldwide by setting out in detail the purposes and provisions of the major international treaties and conventions designed to give the remaining wild places and populations of our world a reasonable chance of survival.’

H. R. H. Prince Philip - The Duke of Edinburgh, from the Foreword

‘This is an extremely useful book. it fills an important niche for conservationists by bringing together in one place a wealth of detail about all the major wildlife treaties and conventions. The enforcement and strengthening of these treaties is now a vital aspect of the tak of conserving the world’s wildlife and its habitats, and this book will help significantly in this task.’

Sir Peter Scott - CBE, DSC

‘An excellent introduction to international wildlife conservation treaties and an invaluable reference likely to be regarded as the standard work on the subject.’

Mark Carwardine Source: The Good Book Guide

‘This important new work achieves a broader and more comprehensive scope than any other book on the subject of international wildlife conservation law. For the first time, it assembles in one place an analysis of the major global and regional treaties relating to wildlife conservation. It is a highly useful reference work for conservationists, seriously concerned citizens, and government administrators charged with the responsibility of implementing these increasingly complex and important agreements.’

Michael Bean - author of The Evolution of National Wildlife Law and a leading authority on wildlife law in the United States of America

‘As wildlife and wildlife habitats continue to be degraded throughout the world, the need for international treaties to protect them is increasingly important. I highly recommend this book, which provides a clear and comprehensive description of wildlife treaties and how they work, to professional conservationists and interested non-specialists alike.’

Charles de Haes - Director General, World Wildlife Fund International
