ABSTRACT

In the preceding chapters we have examined some of the ways in which man and wildlife, both planrs and animals, affect each other. Although man’s alteration of the environment has profoundly influenced wildlife, he has himself been subjected to equally far-reaching influences from wildlife, so that he cannot isolate himself from the ecology of the world. We may now briefly recapitulate some of the more important points of our survey, and go on to consider the probabilities of man being able to find a way of living peacefully with wildlife; for it is certain he cannot live without it.
