Carbofuran and Wildlife Poisoning: Global Perspectives and Forensic Approaches

“The book provides a compelling read to nonscientists as well as scientists in the area of ecology and wildlife conservation, and its integration of the toxic effects of carbofuran to a country’s resources and ecological system.”  (International Journal of Toxicology, 11 October 2012)

“This comprehensive, timely volume deals spe­cifically with use of the insecticide carbofuran and the global wildlife mortality and morbidity it has caused . . . Overall, this book is generally well-written, organized, and edited. Clearly, this book emerges as the definitive reference on this particular subject. This book will be very useful for wildlife toxicologists, field biologists and other field researchers, NGOs and other conservation organiza­tions, wildlife veterinarians and reha­bilitators, and wildlife law enforcement agencies.”  (Journal of Wildlife Rehabilitation, 2012)

"Carbofuran and Wildlife Poisoning: Global Perspectives and Forensic Approaches is useful for anyone who wishes to gain insight into the complexities of current global envi-ronmental problems and control as well as those interested in the nar-rower area of Carbofuran use and abuse." (Environmental Chemistry Group Bulletin, 1 January 2012)

“Carbofuran and Wildlife Poisoning is a collection of meticulously researched papers from all around the world that provide shocking facts about the effects of a deadly insecticide on wildlife.  The book discusses the hundreds of thousands of animals, from elephants to fish, that are poisoned each year, the efforts to rehabilitate those which have been rescued, and the often heroic efforts to ban or reduce the use of the deadly chemical. This book is a must for all those concerned with the problem. “
