＜p＞A companion volume to ＜em＞Environmental Conflict in Alaska＜/em＞, ＜em＞Pioneering Conservation in Alaska＜/em＞ chronicles the central land and wildlife issues and the growth of environmental conservation in Alaska during its Russian and territorial eras.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Alaskan frontier tempted fur traders, whalers, salmon fishers, gold miners, hunters, and oilmen to take what they could without regard for long-term consequences. Wildlife species, ecosystems, and Native cultures suffered, sometimes irreparably. Damage to wildlife and lands drew the attention of environmentalists, including John Muir, who applied their influence to enact wildlife protection laws and set aside lands for conservation. Alaska served as a testing ground for emergent national resource policy in the United States, as environmental values of species and ecosystem sustainability replaced the unrestrained exploitation of Alaska's early frontier days.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Efforts of conservation leaders and the territory's isolation, small human population, and late development prevented widespread destruction and gave Americans a unique opportunity to protect some of the world's most pristine wilderness.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Enhanced by more than 100 photographs, ＜em＞Pioneering Conservation in Alaska＜/em＞ illustrates the historical precedents for current natural resource disputes in Alaska and will fascinate readers interested in wildlife and conservation.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
