Wild Hope by Andrew Balmford
Tropical deforestation. The collapse of fisheries. Unprecedented levels of species extinction. Faced with the plethora of gloom-and-doom headlines about the natural world, we might think that environmental disaster is inevitable. This title offers several stories of successful conservation.
"Along the course of a graceful and nuanced journey through the complex world of conservation, Andrew Balmford lovingly tells us about a number of highly positive examples of conservation as practiced in a series of far-flung lands, inspiring and encouraging us to continue building a sustainable world - one in which we will coexist sustainably with nature, nurturing the beauty of our glorious planet and the opportunities that it presents for all" (Peter H. Raven, president emeritus, Missouri Botanical Garden)"
Andrew Balmford is professor of conservation science in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge. He is coeditor of Conservation in a Changing World, and he lives in Ely, England, with his wife, two sons, and a lot of animals.
