Synopsis: Wolves are controversial figures worldwide and much effort has focused on how to conserve them while addressing public concerns. With its solitary habits and fruit-eating diet, the endangered maned wolf roams the South American grasslands and swamps, playing a vital part in maintaining biodiversity hotspots. In recent years, much effort has focused on the discussion of how to conserve large carnivores, such as wolves, while addressing public concerns. Gathering the work of leading researchers from diverse areas and countries, this book covers up-to-date research on the biology, ecology, and conservation of the maned wolf. It presents innovative insights that can benefit conservation strategies (in and ex situ health, feeding ecology, distribution, and people's attitudes) and offers diverse perspectives for the future of the species (education, human dimensions, ethnoconservation, and habitat studies).
