This provides a great summary of conservation difficulties and efforts and covers a wide spam of areas from life history to disease. It was a fantastic resource for preparing for my Ph.D. qualifying exam.

Surely destined to be the key reference point on a subject which is currently featuring high on international agendas for conservation priorities … This global coverage encompasses both the large and small felids, it is especially refreshing, and results in an almost encyclopaedic coverage. It could serve as a model for reference works on other groups of organisms of conservation importance.

I am not a veterinarian but am involved in animal rescue and I do have a scientific background which helps with the verbiage. This book has already proven useful as a peer-reviewed resource for determining animal maladies so I may communicate more accurately with the rescue’s vets.
