En México, la fauna silvestre impulsó el establecimiento y desarrollo de las civilizaciones prehispánicas. La gran diversidad de especies y la abundancia de sus poblaciones motivaron a que a partir de la epoca colonial, se considerara que la fauna era inagotable, lo que propicio el proceso historico de su sobreexplotacion. Esta obra documenta, en diferentes periodos de la historia de Mexico, las acciones en torno a la conservacion de la fauna silvestre, con el proposito fundamental de servir de fuente de analisis para avanzar en la revaloracion de la fauna mexicana como recurso renovable, componente de la biodiversidad y capital natural del pais.

"The great apes and their basic rights" is a call to put in debate the importance of our evolutionary brothers, the great apes (bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans), all this within the context of the immediate protection of both their populations in the wild, as well as their habitat or the liberation of those who are held captives. This book is also a request for their basic rights (life, freedom and to not be tortured physically or psychologically) as it is already stated by many scientists and some court rulings that have made headlines worldwide.This book, coordinated by Pedro Pozas Terrados, would not have been possible without the articles written by great scientific figures, conservationists, animalists, people of the legal world, journalists and writers. They break down preconceptions and support the great apes and their rights with their words, thus endorsing the fight in which the Great Ape Project has been working continuously for two decades.

Un gran clásico de la zoología y la etología en una nueva edición.¿Qué clase de lenguaje poseen los animales, para poder comunicarnos con ellos?, ¿qué código de señales usan las distintas especies?

Y nos describe, por ejemplo, la agitada lucha por la supervivencia en los acuarios, las estrategias alimentarias de la grajilla, los instintos alimentarios de las aves o los espectaculares despliegues en los cortejos de apareamiento.
