Saving Snakes: Snakes and the Evolution of a Field Naturalist, Paperback - Nicolette L. Cagle

Detalii:

Snake populations are declining around the globe, but calls for their conservation are muted by fear and prejudice. Saving Snakes offers a new approach to understanding snakes-one built on respect. From Cuba and Nicaragua to Costa Rica and Australia, Nicolette Cagle has traveled the world in search of snakes. She also has spent decades conducting natural science research on snake activity, specifically in regions of the U.S. where urban development encroaches upon their habitat.Beautifully written, Saving Snakes entwines Cagles personal narrative with deep scientific and historical research. By tracing the authors evolution as a field naturalist, it provides a blueprint for developing a conservation consciousness among young people and paves the way for increased inclusivity in the male-dominated field of herpetology. Fundamentally a book about snakes, this is also the story of one womans pursuit of her passion as she searches for, studies, and advocates for these enigmatic creatures.Book specifications:Dimensions: 216 x 140Author: Nicolette L.
