Bringing Back the Wild: Stories from Revitalized Ecosystems Around the World and How Sport Hunting Supports Them

By Mike Arnold

All around the world protection for threatened wilderness areas continues its expansion through the support of an unexpected activity: Sport Hunting. In this book, outdoor writer and scientist Mike Arnold takes readers on a global odyssey stalking vast tracts of wilderness in the U.S. and Canada, Coutadas and preserves in Africa, rain forests in Central America, and game lands in Europe. He encounters apex predators, exotic birds, and game animals of all kinds, many of which now thrive in places that not long ago had been devoid of wildlife.

Behind it all are the people Arnold meets and the various ways they manage the land under their care. Whether through tribal stewardship, communal property traditions, private hunting concessions, or techniques akin to farming, each of the wilderness areas Arnold visits has one thing in common...they owe their existence to the funding derived from strictly managed sport hunting.

For anyone who enjoys the outdoors - hunter or not - the lesson in Arnold's adventures is unequivocal: Hunters and the money they invest in their passions are the fuel for the world's greatest conservation success stories.
