Book Patagonia Path of the Puma TU

During a time when most wild animals are experiencing decline in the face of development and climate change, the intrepid mountain lion-also known as a puma or cougar and by many other names-has experienced reinvigoration as well as expansion of territory. What makes this cat, the forth carnivore in the food chain-just ahead of humans-so resilient and resourceful? And what can conservationists and wild life managers learn from them about the web of diversity that is in desparate need of protection? Their story is fascinating for the lessons it can afford the protection of all species in times of dire challenge and decline. 256 pages with full-color photos throughout.
