William A Douglass: Whose Fish Is It?, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Whose Fish Is It? addresses the national policies regarding angling (and hunting) of several underdeveloped-world countries, the hegemonic territorial claims of their indigenous peoples, the efforts of several developed countries and NGOs to conserve the planet's natural resources, and the initiatives of sport-fishing outfitters catering to an elite clientele. At times, these interests complement one another; at others they clash. The book considers three Latin-American case studies, another in Africa, and one in Asia. The author experienced these personally and writes about his (mis)adventures in these unique places, augmented by research as well as interviews with their principals.
