"In 1977, Michael J. Bean introduced the concept of "wildlife law" as a distinct new component of environmental law.

The background to that pioneering law, many of the conflicts and controversies associated with it-some widely familiar and others not-and the challenge of fashioning effective approaches to rare species conservation are all addressed here. So too are related topics, including administration of National Wildlife Refuges, plastic pollution, and climate change. The collection also highlights individuals who have made significant contributions to wildlife conservation.
