Man & Wildlife
by: Guggisberg, C.A.W.
For thousand of years man has had a great affinity with his fellow animals.
Eventually man's dependence on animals decreased, yet animals were still
killed for meat, fur, feathers, ivory - just for fun. Guggisberg, a distinguished

funds or the facilities yet exist to save the animals. The book also lists
all the more important national parks & reserves throughout the world.
