Otherwise, a very good to near fine copy-clean, bright and unmarked. ~SP26~ [2.5P] This book presents the most comprehensive review of the current population, distribution and conservation status of the Ethiopian wolf, Canis simensis. Among the 34 living canid species globally, the Ethiopian wolf is considered the most endangered with a remaining population of about 400 individuals restricted to the highlands of Ethiopia. Nine experts on the biology of the Ethiopian wolf contributed data for the successful completion of this action plan. The book highlights the ongoing struggle to save an endangered mammal from extinction in Ethiopia. If steps are not taken immediately, the Ethiopian wolf likely will disappear from our planet like the Falkland Island wolf, Dusicyon australis, which became extinct in 1876. This book is a valuable conservation tool for biologists, politicians, and policy makers since it provides future strategies for the conservation and management of Ethiopian wolves and their habitat. Information on the habitat loss, persecution by local people, hybridization threat from domestic dog population, and diseases are also discussed in detail.
