No Animal Poaching: Reading List

This section of No Animal Poaching contains lists of pertinent books. The age/grade-level for these books varies widely. (Some are decidedly for kids. At some point I envision creating a "kids section" of NAP, at which point I'll remove the apropos book titles from here and put them, instead, over in that section.) The books are listed alphabetically by title and, unlike the "rule" in the Animal Poaching News area, many of the publications here pre-date 2009 (see "Sticky" Notes Part 2 to better understand the 2009 starting date there). I have not included "travel guide" type books here.

The focus on these various publications is the present day (the twenty-first century)--not on historical animal poaching, of which there is plenty to choose from. The option to include items in these lists is admittedly subjective. I shall update this list from time to time. If there are worthwhile items you feel are missing, please let me know. Furthermore, if you have a relevant book you want reviewed, please send me a copy and/or contact me first.

NB: By including these publications, No Animal Poaching is not recommending them; they are simply listed here as available resources. The links in the book titles will take you to a source where they are available for purchase, but those purchase sites (Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, etc.) are merely examples of where these books can be purchased. No Animal Poaching does not necessarily suggest you purchase them from those sites; you may very well be able to find them elsewhere, for less money.
