520 "The passenger pigeon, the great auk, the Tasmanian tiger-
-the memory of these vanished species haunts the fight
against extinction. Seeking to save other creatures from
their fate in an age of accelerating biodiversity loss,
wildlife advocates have become captivated by a narrative
of heroic conservation efforts. A range of technological
and policy strategies, from the traditional, such as
regulations and refuges, to the novel--the scientific
wizardry of genetic engineering and synthetic biology--
seemingly promise solutions to the extinction crisis. In
The Fall of the Wild, Ben A. Minteer calls for reflection
on the ethical dilemmas of species loss and recovery in an
increasingly human-driven world. He asks an unsettling but
necessary question: Might our well-meaning efforts to save
and restore wildlife pose a threat to the ideal of
preserving a world that isn't completely under the human
thumb? Minteer probes the tension between our impulse to
do whatever it takes and the risk of pursuing strategies
that undermine our broader commitment to the preservation
of wildness. From collecting wildlife specimens for
museums and the wilderness aspirations of zoos to visions
of "assisted colonization" of new habitats and high-tech
attempts to revive long-extinct species, he explores the
scientific and ethical concerns vexing conservation today.
The Fall of the Wild is a nuanced treatment of the deeper
moral issues underpinning the quest to save species on the
brink of extinction and an accessible intervention in
debates over the principles and practice of nature
conservation."--Jacket.
