Editorial Reviews

Review

“Splendidly thought-provoking . . . The writers for Ethics on the Ark grapple seriously and intelligently with . . . the very real conflicts that lie between those who are, to be simplistic and heuristic, for zoos and those who are against. In turn, looming over the debate, hang the huge questions of our duties to animals and of the disappearance of the natural world.”—Boston Book Review

“This book is a most important contribution to animal welfare and should be read by zoo professionals, conservationists involved with captive breeding, those concerned with the ethical justifiability of zoos, animal welfarists, and anyone with an interest in the role and future of zoos.”—Zoo Biology

“This collection of essays successfully integrates the voices of zoo professionals, activists, conservation biologists, and philosophers and admirably balances a wide range of pro and con perspectives on the future of captive breeding.”—American Scientist

“This is the freshest look yet at the interwoven issues of animal conservation, welfare, and rights facing the North American and, indeed, global zoo community today.”—Lee Durrell, Honorary Director, Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust

“Ethics on the Ark is a wake-up call: a mandatory text for anyone concerned with environmental preservation, species diversity, and the humane treatment of individual animals in zoos.”—Michael E. Kaufmann, American Humane Association

From the Back Cover

Ethics on the Ark presents a passionate, multivocal discussion - among zoo professionals, activists, conservation biologists, and philosophers - about the future of zoos and aquariums, the treatment of animals in captivity, and the question of whether the individual, the species, or the ecosystem is the most important focus in conservation efforts. Contributors represent all sides of the issues. Some advocate proposals to increase zoos' work in captive breeding programs. Others call for zoos to turn away from exotic, charismatic species and focus instead on community education programs aimed at protecting local fauna and habitats. Still others contend that zoos ought to be abolished. Moving from the fundamental to the practical, from biodiversity to population regulation, from animal research to captive breeding, Ethics on the Ark represents an important gathering of the many fervent and contentious viewpoints shaping the wildlife conservation debate.

Classic book, some very thought provoking chapters by quite a few major people in the field. It might be a few years old, but the controversies and problems are all still the same.

1.0 out of 5 stars wrong book under the cover
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2011
I wish I could say what I think of Ethics on the Ark, but due to some strange error, all I have of that book is the cover. Underneath the cover is some other book--some drivel about communes and utopia. That's right, I have the cover for Ethics on the Ark attached to the pages for Commitment and Community. Very disappointing. I wish I could get it exchanged, but this book was purchased for me from my wish list a couple of years ago. Does anyone know if I can contact the publisher to get this fixed?
