Are human truths as immutable and constant as the law of Newton or are human phenomena subjective in interpretation, varying therefore according to the biases of differing viewpoints. It is possible, concludes D'Souza, in this wide ranging work, to find objectivity in the analysis of human matters and thus freedom from the vagaries of interpretation, in the survival impulse. This impulse, primitive and almost biological in its origin, serves as a most satisfactory explanation of all human phenomena.

"Conservationists might set out with very different objectives: preservation and recovery of rare and threatened species - as with rhinos or bustards, sustaining a steady supply of useful products for human use - as with fisheries, or even eliminating threats to human life of livelihood as in the case of rodent pests or man-eating tigers. None of these objectives, however, can be effectively met without a clear understanding of how wild populations of these species function. The necessary knowledge can come only from the application of rigorous science, which involves sampling, modeling and estimating animal populations. Even with such reliable knowledge in their armory, conservationists must face social challenges in application of this science on the ground and in the policy arenas, in which not everyone may share their goals or values. This volume contains 26 articles by the author written in collaboration with other leading biologists, quantitative ecologists and conservationists. It boldly explores a complex terrain that spans ecological theories to social practices. It is a useful guide for those practicing science-based conservation. "
