Booknews
Clark (forestry and environmental studies, Yale U.) chronicles efforts to protect black-footed ferrets, rediscovered in Wyoming in 1981 long after they had been thought extinct. He concludes that the problems facing conservationists are not so much biological or ecological, but such human systems as policy decisions, organizational priorities, and professional rivalries. He recommends they retarget their campaigns. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
