Reviews
Jachowski's story is one of persistent effort and profound disillusionment in the face of great obstacles. But as the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) hangs on and even makes modest progress, Jachowski holds out some hope for the future., Jachowski has a vision of a healthier and more vibrant Great Plains, where both people and wildlife can thrive. . . . He deserves thanks for all his efforts, on the land and now in the pages of his book.

Synopsis
This engaging personal account of one of America's most contested wildlife conservation campaigns has as its central character the black-footed ferret. Once feared extinct, and still one of North America's rarest mammals, the black-footed ferret exemplifies the ecological, social, and political challenges of conservation in the West, including the risks involved with intensive captive breeding and reintroduction to natural habitat. David Jachowski draws on more than a decade of experience working to save the ferret. His unique perspective and informative anecdotes reveal the scientific and human aspects of conservation as well as the immense dedication required to protect a species on the edge of extinction. By telling one story of conservation biology in practice--its routine work, triumphs, challenges, and inevitable conflicts--this book gives readers a greater understanding of the conservation ethic that emerged on the Great Plains as part of one of the most remarkable recovery efforts in the history of the Endangered Species Act.
