The global population in early 2023 already exceeded 8 billion. This represents a population increase of near 6 billion people since the end of World War II. Assume that most of us want to eat healthy meals, raise families, have a place to call our own and enjoy a reasonably peaceful retirement. How is this possible when more of our agricultural land is disappearing because of urbanisation, when climate change is reducing agricultural output, when more of our drinking water is contaminated and when our soil is becoming more toxic? Were you ever concerned how the loss of habitats could affect the planet's biodiversity and how the ongoing destruction of our forests, the melting of glaciers and ice caps, the depletion of our huge aquifers and the extinctions of many species, including our pollinators, would affect life on earth? Oil, gas and many minerals are harder to get to while at the same time the demand for it keeps increasing. What causes overpopulation, how will it affect us and what can we do to ensure that planet earth will also be here to provide for us tomorrow? If these topics and related are of interest to you, then you should read this book.

Clive Barker - Bestselling author of The Hellbound Heart, Abarat, Mr B. Gone & The Scarlet Gospels "Paul Kane's lean, stripped-back prose is a tool that's very much fit for purpose.

"The book is a follow up to his first release, 'Woods Cop: Thirty-four Years a State Game Warden', as the author tells stories that could only be shared by someone who patrolled the areas remote 450 square miles of mountainous terrain throughout central PA. Years removed, some of the stories provide laugh-out-loud moments as Wasserman details crazy scenarios. Such as people he investigated offering excuses that even Hollywood would admire, even when caught red-handed breaking state game laws. Of course peril is a constant. Wasserman's career was pre-cell phones, pitting him alone with often angry hunters that were always armed.In fact, he admits in his newest offering that two of his nemesis in particular always forced him to use extreme caution. He felt, that if given the chance for a clean get away, he feared they would 'shoot him in the back.' 'Poachers Creed' starts where 'Woods Cop' stopped and features many tales that readers will find humorous."LOCK HAVEN EXPRESS NEWSPAPER Each chapter of this book illustrates part of my life during a long career as a state game warden covering five hundred square miles of rugged mountain terrain. Throughout my career, I investigated thousands of game law violations and arrested many violent, hardcore poachers. My encounters with hostile, armed poachers in the backwoods of Pennsylvania will keep you turning pages until the last chapter has been read. Ride with me as I chase notorious poachers, and prosecute the first DNA game law case in the history of Pennsylvania. Follow me as I work with US Fish & Wildlife undercover agents who infiltrate one of the largest poaching operations in the history of the United States. Fly with me to discover why deer carcasses were thrown into the sky from an Army National Guard helicopter while hovering above the Fish Dam Run Wild Area of Clinton County Pennsylvania. Walk with me as I patrol the Yukon Territory with a Canadian Game Warden. Learn with me as I explain the history of the fisher reintroduction to Pennsylvania. I begin with a sequel to my first book, WOODS COP: Thirty-four Years a State Game Warden. The final chapter of that book was about Coyotee Boy, an infamous hardcore poacher who delighted in snitching on his friends.
