  • Attribution

    Raymond F. Dasmann ; with a foreword by Paul Erhlich

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of California Press, 2002

  • Links

  • Description

    A pioneer in international conservation and wildlife ecology, Raymond Dasmann published his first book, the influential text Environmental Conservation, when the term “environment” was little known and “conservation” to most people simply meant keeping or storing. Ranging from Dasmann’s travels to ecological hotspots around the world to his development of concepts such as bioregionalism and ecotourism, this autobiography is a story of international conservation action and intrigue, a moving love story, and a gripping chronicle of an exceptional life.
