The Kruger Experience. Ecology and Management of Savanna Heterogeneity

Kruger National Park in South Africa is one of the largest and most important protected areas in the world, with a long and changing history of management and intensive scientific research. The Kruger Experience documents this history and changing management philosophy as well as drawing together much of the biological, geological and hydrological knowledge about the park. About 50 authors have contributed to this book, and give a fascinating account of the interplay between science and park management, and the growing appreciation that conservation areas do not exist in isolation but are strongly influenced by surrounding lands and the people living there.
