Dale Peterson's impassioned expos? details how, with the unprecedented opening of African forests by European and Asian logging companies, the traditional consumption of wild animal meat in Central Africa has suddenly exploded in scope and impact, moving from what was recently a subsistence activity to an enormous and completely unsustainable commercial enterprise. Although the three African great apes account for only about one percent of the commercial bush meat trade, today's rate of slaughter could bring about their extinction in the next few decades. Supported by compelling color photographs by award-winning photographer Karl Ammann, \u003ci\u003eEating Apes \u003c\/i\u003edocuments the when, where, how, and why of this rapidly accelerating disaster. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEating Apes \u003c\/i\u003epersuasively argues that the American conservation media have failed to report the ongoing collapse of the ape population. In bringing the facts of this crisis and these impending extinctions into a single, accessible book, Peterson takes us one step closer to averting one of the most disturbing threats to our closest relatives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dale Peterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520243323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520243323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.86h x 5.74w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/10\/2004 pg. 26","brand":"Dale Peterson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46617849692415,"sku":"9780520243323","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a34bc91-9319-4794-940b-4aae6c04dec1.jpg?v=1740068498","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eating-apes-dale-peterson-9780520243323","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
