Summary, etc. In the last thirty years, conservation work of many different kinds has proliferated around the world and even people intimately connected with these problems are hard pressed to keep themselves abreast of every new development in the overwhelming task of preserving everything from savannahs to rainforests and the creatures that live in them, from insects to elephants. That is where this book will be invaluable, for it gives in its pages a picture of what is being done - sometimes successfully, sometimes unsuccessfully- to save the living world. It is, in fact, a compendium of conservation which gives one a clear and concise guide to the progress we are making in the all important work of saving the planet from the ravages of our own greed and stupidity. It is a book that should certainly be on every sabre rattling politician's desk, for it shows clearly the urgent need for still greater efforts in conservation and the wise utilization of the world's resources. Otherwise, the politicians are in danger of waking up one day and finding that there is nothing left to fight over and that we have destroyed the world as successfully as any nuclear holocaust would do. What this book underlines is that if our resources are used wisely and human growth limited, there would be no need for pop groups to take up the cause of famine relief, generous and altruistic as such gestures are.
