Krátky popis
In the late nineteenth century, humans came at long last to a
devastating realisation: their rapidly industrialising and
globalising societies were driving scores of animal species to
extinction. In Beloved Beasts, acclaimed science journalist
Michelle Nijhuis traces the history of the movement to protect and
conserve other forms of life. From early battles to save
charismatic species such as the American bison and bald eagle to
today's global effort to defend life on a larger scale, Nijhuis's
",spirited and engaging", account documents ",the changes of heart
that changed history", (Dan Cryer, Boston Globe).With ",urgency,
passion, and wit", (Michael Berry, Christian Science Monitor), she
describes the vital role of scientists and activists such as Aldo
Leopold and Rachel Carson, reveals the origins of vital
organisations like the Audubon Society and the World Wildlife Fund,
explores current efforts to protect species such as the whooping
crane and the black rhinoceros and confronts the darker side of
modern conservation, long shadowed by racism and colonialism. As
the destruction of other species continues and the effects of
climate change wreak havoc on our world, Beloved Beasts charts the
ways conservation is becoming a movement for the protection of all
species including our own.
