  Wildlife in the Home Paddock; Nature Conservation for Australian Farmers
Breckwoldt, Roland
Angus & Robertson Sydney 1983 First Edition
8vo Hard Cover Publishers original brown boards with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, sunned spine, now protected in Brodart. Yellow endpapers, previous owners name to front endpaper. 448pp. including index, including 44pp maps, plus 40pp b/w photographs, profusely illustrated with b/w line drawing, plans and graphs throughout text, pages clean and bright in firm binding. There is a strong case for private landholders concerning themselves with wildlife conservation, not only for the sake of the plants and animals, but also for their own well being. This book argues that, while there certainly are ethical and aesthetic reasons for preserving native flora and fauna, there might well be economic benefits from learning to live with the land as well as on it. This is a practical guide through the various aspects of conservation that can be carried out on both small and large holdings and measures that can be taken to repair previous uneconomic uses of the land, for example, those that have resulted in tree decline and soil erosion.  Very Good
