This book is part cookbook, part travelogue, part detailed account from front lines of the battle to save Africa's remaining wilderness from those who seek to exploit it. Cooking for Conservation features the recipes I developed while working at Camp Nomade, a luxury tented camp in Zakouma National Park in Tchad, a landlocked country in the heart of central Africa.

Excerpt from Conservation Recipes The Third Edition of the Conservation Recipes is published in order to meet, as far as possible, the needs of the housewife in conforming strictly to the latest rulings of the Food administration. The following rations is given as a guide only. It must vary from time to time as the food situation changes. Be alert and watch for all Food Conservation reports and be guided intelligently by them. If there is less need of saving certain commodities in some sections of the country because of local conditions, the general rule still holds that "Food will win the War." And since that statement is as true now as when it first startled us with its significance, don't waste it, nor use more of it than is necessary for normal health.

Feeding the world's growing human population is increasingly challenging, especially as more people adopt a western diet and lifestyle. Doing so without causing damage to nature poses an even greater challenge. This book argues that in order to create a sustainable food supply whilst conserving nature, agriculture and nature must be reconnected and approached together. The authors demonstrate that while the links between nature and food production have, to some extent, already been recognized, until now the focus has been to protect one from the impacts of the other. Instead, it is argued that nature and agriculture can, and should, work together and ultimately benefit from one another. Chapters describe efforts to protect nature through globally connected protected area systems and illustrate how farming methods are being shaped to protect nature within agricultural systems. The authors also point to many ways in which nature benefits agriculture through the ecosystem services it provides. Overall, the book shows that nature conservation and food production must be considered as equally important components of future solutions to meet the global demand for food in a manner that is sustainable for both the human population and the planet as a whole.

Excerpt from Conservation Menus and Recipes This little book of menus and recipes grew out of the desire of the Riley Circle to aid in the food conservation movement during the war. We wished, to follow scrupulously every re quest of the Food Administration. At the same time we wished to keep our families well nourished and to be able to offer to them and to our friends food, so carefully prepared and so daintily served, as to bring refreshment to mind and body, and to keep alive the amenities of life during this period of stress and strain. Believing that the richly varied products of our country offer substitutes not needed by our Allies, which skillful handling could prepare for our own tables, thus releasing the more staple products for the war needs, we asked Mrs. Charles Lincoln Bartlett to use her well-known skill to outline for us menus which would accomplish this end. Mrs. Bartlett has here gathered together recipes which she has culled from the past and the present, from at home and abroad, and included many of her own creation. The distinct contribution which we feel she has made, however, aside from the substitution of other ingredients for those which it is nec essary to conserve, is the combination of these recipes into menus of balanced food value and delightful attractiveness. Wishing to allow all to share in this opportunity, we have persuaded Mrs. Bartlett to put these menus into published form and on public sale.
