Book excerpt: "Nonconsumptive wildlife use is a generic term for a variety of recreational activities related to wildlife. Primary nonconsumptive uses include general wildlife observation, birdwatching, birdfeeding, and wildlife and bird photography. Secondary activities include nature walks, membership in animal-related organizations, ownership of wildlife pets, and zoo visitation. This report reviews the literature about the demand for nonconsumptive wildlife, based on surveys of the attitudes, preferences, participation, and expenditures for related activities."--Title page verso.
