Badger Behaviour, Conservation & Rehabilitation - 70 Years of Getting to Know Badgers (Pelagic Monographs)

Description:

A fascinating insight into the badger s world. Badger biology, life in the sett, rescue & rehabilitation, consultancy, badgers & farming, and badger-watching with George Pearce an expert on badgers.

George has surveyed over 700 sites, visited 1,500 setts, been consulted as an expert in 120 animal cruelty cases and rehabilitated more than 100 badgers. Brought up on a farm, he earned his living as a farmer for 45 years. Today, he is a badger consultant and one of the foremost experts on the British mammal he admires the most.

For many years, the RSPCA, police, veterinary surgeons and conservation groups all over the country have relied on George Pearce s knowledge and his instinctive feel for animal behaviour. Now you can share in his experience and enthusiasm for badgers from his 70 years of badger watching and his vast professional wildlife experience.

Editorial reviews

"Pearce reveals a remarkable depth of knowledge about these mammals. As well as discussing badger ecology, he offers advice on many topics not covered by other authors, such as how to conduct surveys and build artificial setts. His down-to-earth manner owes more to the style of the ecological pioneer John Seymour than to the 'father' of badger biology, Ernest Neal." —David Dixon, BBC Wildlife Magazine

Review

I ordered this book because of my interest and passion for badgers and wasn't sure what to expect. On opening the package the cover of the book made me smile. There, looking back at me, was a dewy eyed, wet nosed badger face and thoughtfully designed with the black background and white writing staying in line with the badger's trademarks. The introduction outlined the author as a farmer's boy who grew up to realise wildlife played an important part in the countryside and embarked on a mission to learn, understand and conserve it. This dedicated man has written and produced a detailed book which covers his personal journey alongside badgers and their behaviour, legislation, authority, developers and conservation. I found the book full of examples of his experience, easy to read, interesting and enjoyable to the point it made me chuckle or gasp and even at some points thinking--"Och ... this can't be true"! In support of his written work there is a lovely selection of photos in chapter six justifying everything he had experienced. I especially loved the story Marooned: a bundle of badgers and the photo of 9 badgers huddled together up a tree is brilliant (photo gallery pages 90-91). The book is structured well with the author putting across his thoughts and findings up for discussion. These include Bovine TB and modern farming techniques amongst other issues and the question, "Is it the badger that is the problem or is it the development?" I know what I think. A must read for anyone who has an interest in badgers.--Jackie Clark

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, sound, common sense advice from George

K.C. · 6 October 2020

In February 2020 our small group of dedicated badger watchers decided to take things up a gear and form a group. We developed a constitution, setting out what we wanted to achieve and how to go about it. We had training lined up but Covid-19 stopped that happening but badgers still needed our help. This book has helped enormously and provided the answers to several questions worried residents and members of the public asked us to help with. We have learned so much in the eight months since the Group was formed. There is so much more we need to know and this book proves that with enough time, effort and patience, we will become the Group we need to be and help to protect this endearing animal to the best of our ability.

5.0 out of 5 stars Readable and informative.

I bought this for my son, who is studying with a badger conservation group, and he was delighted because, unbeknownst to me, they recommend it. Nuff said.

I love this book. Its written with such passion, fun and knowledge. It provides the knowledge in such a personal way to the author though instead of hitting you with hard facts. Lovely book for anyone that has an interest in badgers.

I had this for Christmas because we have badgers in our garden and I wanted to learn more about them. What a good choice this book was. George Pearce has a good, chatty writing style and his book is very easy to read and a mine of information and interesting stories. I do hope he finds time to write another one.
