Wild animal conservation and welfare in agricultural systems. (Special Issue: Conservation and animal welfare.) out of 5 stars | Contributor(s):: Mathews, F. At least one-third of the land on earth is used for agricultural production and conflicts with the interests of wildlife are inevitable. These conflicts are likely to escalate as the human population expands and as the scale and intensity of agricultural production increases. This paper argues... 357. Wildlife conservation and animal welfare: two sides of the same coin? (Special Issue: Conservation and animal welfare.) out of 5 stars | Contributor(s):: Paquet, P. C., Darimont, C. T. Human activities deprive wild animals of their life requisites by destroying or impoverishing their surroundings, causing suffering of individuals.
