Preface
In recent decades, a number of ecological problems have begun that are being investigated. Deforestation has destroyed ecological niches and affected the habitats of many species leading to a decline in animal population numbers and endangering a number of species. Fishery resources have come under pressure so that controls on harvesting and quotas have had to be implemented. Wildlife generally has been affected in various ways, and species such as rhinos and elephant populations, for example, are seriously declining through activities such as poaching to obtain rhino horns and elephant tusks. The Whaling Commission has been engaged for some time in debates over dwindling numb
