    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book explores the complex relationship between wildlife conservation and agriculture in Africa, with a focus on advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 15 (Life on Land) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger). It examines Africa's unique biodiversity, the challenges posed by human-wildlife conflict, and the pressing need for sustainable agriculture to ensure food security.
    By highlighting how conservation initiatives, community partnerships, and sustainable farming practices can work together, this book underscores the importance of balancing ecosystem integrity with human livelihoods. It also considers the role of governance, policy frameworks, and indigenous knowledge in shaping Africa’s sustainable future.
    Emphasizing collaborative and integrated solutions, the volume demonstrates that achieving biodiversity protection and agricultural productivity is not only possible but also essential for meeting global sustainability targets. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, conservationists, farmers, and anyone engaged with the challenges and opportunities at the nexus of wildlife and agriculture in Africa.
