Carbofuran and Wildlife Poisoning (eBook)

Ngaio Richards is editor of Carbofuran and Wildlife Poisoning: Global Perspectives and Forensic Approaches, published by Wiley. Ngaio ran a session on Wildlife Forensics at the Environmental Forensics Conference in Bournemouth in 2007 which attracted widespread interest.

"The book provides a compelling read to nonscientists as
well as scientists in the area of ecology and wildlife
conservation, and its integration of the toxic effects of
carbofuran to a country's resources and ecological
system." (International Journal of Toxicology,
11 October 2012)

"This comprehensive, timely volume deals
spe-cifically with use of the insecticide carbofuran and the
global wildlife mortality and morbidity it has caused . . .
Overall, this book is generally well-written, organized, and
edited. Clearly, this book emerges as the definitive reference on
this particular subject. This book will be very useful for wildlife
toxicologists, field biologists and other field researchers, NGOs
and other conservation organiza-tions, wildlife veterinarians
and reha-bilitators, and wildlife law enforcement
agencies." (Journal of Wildlife Rehabilitation,
2012)

"Carbofuran and Wildlife Poisoning: Global Perspectives and
Forensic Approaches is useful for anyone who wishes to gain insight
into the complexities of current global envi-ronmental problems and
control as well as those interested in the nar-rower area of
Carbofuran use and abuse." (Environmental Chemistry Group Bulletin,
1 January 2012)

"Carbofuran and Wildlife Poisoning is a collection of
meticulously researched papers from all around the world that
provide shocking facts about the effects of a deadly insecticide on
wildlife. The book discusses the hundreds of thousands of
animals, from elephants to fish, that are poisoned each year, the
efforts to rehabilitate those which have been rescued, and the
often heroic efforts to ban or reduce the use of the deadly
chemical. This book is a must for all those concerned with the
problem. "

"This thoroughly informative work brings together a wide
range of reports by experts and dramatically underscores the very
real threat that pesticides pose to our world of nature. It
is a "must have" work for reference and knowledge." from
Richard Leakey, Chairman of Wildlife Direct, September 2011
