دانلود کتاب Pandas to Penguins: Ethical Encounters with Animals at Risk – پانداها به پنگوئن ها: برخورد اخلاقی با حیوانات در معرض خطر

توضیحات

Perhaps nothing about nature calls to us as deeply as wild animals. To see an enormous whale leaping out of the water, the eerily human eyes of a gorilla, or the comical waddle of a penguin; to hear the ethereal howl of a wolf or majestic roar of a lionthese experiences change us. Around the world, animal populations are threatened by loss of habitat, pollution, climate change, overhunting, and poachingand yet wildlife-based tourism is growing rapidly and makes up as much as forty percent of the worldwide tourism industry today.

InPandas to Penguins, nature journalist Melissa Gaskill profiles twenty-five species and one endangered ecosystem, highlighting local ecofriendly travel outfitters operating in the area for those seeking out their own enriching personal experience with wildlife. She provides basic information about each animals behavior and biology, descriptions of the threats they face, and maps, photographs, and first-person accounts of wildlife watching.

Each species meets three basic criteria: 1) some level of risk to its survival, 2) a reasonably accessible habitat where travelers have a chance to view the animal in the wild in its natural setting, and 3) responsible tourism that directly benefits the animal or its habitat. More than a wildlife bucket list or an exhortation to see them before theyre gone, this guide is intended to identify wildlife experiences that can be life changing for people as well as animals. Extinction is tragic but not inevitable. We can all do something to make a difference, andPandas to Penguinsis an important resource for adventurers and armchair travelers alike.

شاید هیچ چیز در مورد طبیعت به اندازه حیوانات وحشی ما را فرا نخواند. برای دیدن یک نهنگ عظیم که از آب بیرون می‌پرد، چشمان انسان ترسناک یک گوریل، یا حرکت خنده‌دار یک پنگوئن. شنیدن زوزه ی اثیری گرگ یا غرش باشکوه شیر، این تجربه ها ما را تغییر می دهد. در سرتاسر جهان، جمعیت حیوانات به دلیل از دست دادن زیستگاه، آلودگی، تغییرات آب و هوایی، شکار بی رویه، و شکار غیرقانونی در معرض تهدید هستند و با این حال گردشگری مبتنی بر حیات وحش به سرعت در حال رشد است و امروزه به اندازه چهل درصد صنعت گردشگری در سراسر جهان را تشکیل می دهد.
