| Resumen: |
En un mundo donde los hábitats cambian constantemente y el impacto de la antropización en el medio ambiente es cada vez más intenso, las interacciones entre los seres humanos y la vida silvestre son cada vez más complejas. Algunas especies plantean problemas para las actividades humanas, mientras que muchas otras necesitan ayuda para seguir existiendo. Este libro sigue al primer volumen llamado ''Problematic Wildlife'', editado por FM Angelici y publicado por Springer en 2016, que ha tenido un éxito considerable entre lectores y crÃticos. El volumen incluye 21 capÃtulos divididos en 7 partes dedicadas a temas especÃficos que se abordan de forma multidisciplinar. Hay tanto capÃtulos de revisión como casos especÃficos, siempre teniendo en cuenta el interés por una audiencia internacional. El libro puede ser útil tanto para cientÃficos, especialistas en vida silvestre, conservacionistas, zoólogos, ecologistas, estudiantes universitarios, gestores de la naturaleza, como para quienes viven en contacto con la vida silvestre y sus problemas, como agricultores, pastores, cazadores, urbanistas y personal. de parques y reservas naturales. Su objetivo final es ofrecer enfoques cientÃficos y pragmáticos para gestionar cada categorÃa de especies problemáticas. |

| Summary : |
In a world where habitats are constantly changing and the impact of anthropization on the environment is increasingly intense, interactions between human and wildlife are becoming more and more complex. Some species pose problems for human activities while many others need to be helped in order to continue to exist. This book follows the first volume called 'Problematic Wildlife', edited by F.M. Angelici and published by Springer in 2016, which has had considerable success with readers and critics. The volume includes 21 chapters divided into 7 parts devoted specific topics which are approached in a multidisciplinary way. There are both review chapters and specific cases, always bearing in mind the interest for an international audience. The book can be useful both for scientists, wildlife specialists, conservationists, zoologists, ecologists, university students, nature managers, and for those who live in contact with wildlife and its problems, such as farmers, shepherds, hunters, urban planners, and staff of parks and nature reserves. Its ultimate goal is to offer scientific and pragmatic approaches to manage each categories of problematic species. |
