Beschreibung
Mongooses are a remarkable and fascinating group of small carnivores, with 25 species occurring in Africa and nine in Asia. They live within a wide variety of habitats, from open savannah to dense rainforest, and display an amazing diversity in social behaviour, with both solitary and group-living species. Yet this family is one of the least-known group of carnivores. The general lack of public awareness about most mongoose species, and the scare ecological knowledge of what they need to survive in the wild, are two of the many conservation threats that this group of carnivores faces, which highlights the urgent need to promote an interest in these amazing animals. As well as popularising mongooses, the book will be a valuable source of information on general scientific and conservation topics, such as social behaviour and how the loss of suitable habitats impacts animal species.

Über den Autor
Dr. Andy Jennings and Professor Géraldine Veron have devoted their careers to studying the ecology, evolution and conservation of small carnivores, especially mongoose and civet species in Asia and Africa. They are both members of the IUCN/SCC Small Carnivore Specialist Group, and have helped assess the conservation status of many Asian small carnivores. Together they completed the first radio-telemetry project on the short-tailed mongoose in Southeast Asia, and have published several scientific papers, articles and books on mongooses and other carnivores.
