This scientific anthology on conservation of wildlife in Africa and Asia is a comprehensive book, easy to consult and can be used by anyone dealing with conservation. While most of the data and case studies originally are from Tanzania and Bangladesh, the usefulness of this book is not limited to Tanzania and developing countries, but to the entire conservation community globally. The survival of our wildlife is a matter of grave concern to all of us in Africa. These wild creatures amid the wild places they inhabit are not only important as a source of wonder and inspiration but are an integral part of our natural resources and of our future livelihood and well being. The conservation of wildlife and wild places calls for specialist knowledge, trained manpower, and money. Julius K. Nyerere, the first presidents of Tanganyika
