At war with nature : corporate conservation and the industry of extinction / W.F. Benfield.

Includes bibliographical references.

"Based on the false premise that possums are a threat to native birds, 1080 kills every living thing in a non-discriminatory basis - possums, rats, birds (native and non-native), insects, worms, bees, fish, butterflies. The forest goes silent for a while until these creatures start to return, rats and mice being the first to do so. This book explains how the true harm of aerial poisoning and exposes the lies that its advocates use to justify the carpet bombing of large areas of pristine forest, lakes and rivers in the name of "conservation.""--Back cover.
