Nature Wars: Wildlife Comebacks and Denatured People

摘要

It's an honor to be here. My book is a history of Americans in wildlife leading up to what I call the "current mess" of a combination of overabundant nuisance and damaging wildlife, and overabundant denatured people. But I'm not going to try to tell you anything about wildlife. That would be very foolish. I thought it might be interesting to talk about how Americans think about wildlife, and one window into that is their attitude toward pets, which has changed a great deal.
