Its maps and photographs will be a cornerstone of much future work on the ecology, taxonomy and conservation of these species.” Prof. Raul Valdez, New Mexico State University, USA: “… the seminal reference work for the general public, specialists and hunters.” Prof. Sandro Lovari, University of Siena, Italy, Past Chair, IUCN Caprinae Specialist Group: “… anyone who is interested in Caprinae conservation, anyone who wants to conserve and/or hunt them, anyone who is in love with the evocative, unique landscapes where they dwell should own this book.” John J. Jackson, III, Chairman Conservation Force, USA: “This is the atlas many of us have been waiting for … the coverage of the book includes range, management, genetics – whatever you desire; it is the ultimate information source. Never has there been such a resource book.” Craig Boddington: “This is the most complete and most definitive work on the subject ever compiled … It will long serve as a critical reference for conservationists, hunters, and naturalists, both professional and amateur.” International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation CIC Headquarters H-2092 Budakeszi Hungary PO Box 82 Telephone: +36 23 453 830 Fax: +36 23 453 832 [email protected] www.cic-wildlife.org
