Contents:

Introduction: Journey into wildness -- Wildways: Corridor ecology and large carnivores ; The ecological role of large carnivores ; Crossings -- Where the carnivores roam Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) ; Wolf (Canis lupus) ; Wolverine (Gulo gulo luscus) ; Lynx (Lynx canadensis) ; Cougar (Puma concolor) ; Jaguar (Panthera onca) -- Conclusion: Earth household.

Summary: In The Carnivore Way, Cristina Eisenberg argues compellingly for the necessity of top predators in large, undisturbed landscapes, and how a continental-long corridor - a "carnivore way" - provides the room they need to roam and connected landscapes that allow them to disperse. Eisenberg follows the footsteps of six large carnivores - wolves, grizzly bears, lynx, jaguars, wolverines, and cougars - on a 7,500-mile wildlife corridor from Alaska to Mexico along the Rocky Mountains. Backed by robust science, she shows how their well-being is a critical factor in sustaining healthy landscapes and how it is possible for humans and large carnivores to coexist peacefully and even to thrive.-- Source other than Library of Congress.
