Even when population pressure is high, as inagricultural areas or in humid zones, and wild animal species can posea serious cost to agriculture, these costs are mainly caused by smallspecies with a low potential for safari hunting. .Although ranching has a very low rate of return and is hardly everprofitable, the biggest obstacle to the model of susta | | 出版日期 | Book 2000 | | 关键词 | Conservation; agriculture; development; sustainable development; tourism; economic geology | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-4012-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-5773-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-4012-6 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2000 |
