In the late 19th century, a devastating realization struck humans: their rapidly industrializing and globalizing societies were causing the extinction of numerous animal species. In her book "Beloved Beasts," acclaimed science journalist Michelle Nijhuis delves into the history of the movement to protect and conserve other forms of life. From the early battles to save charismatic species like the American bison and bald eagle to the current global efforts to safeguard life on a larger scale, Nijhuis' "spirited and engaging" account chronicles the changes of heart that shaped history.
With "urgency, passion, and wit" (Michael Berry, Christian Science Monitor), she vividly describes the crucial roles of scientists and activists like Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson, unveils the origins of vital organizations like the Audubon Society and the World Wildlife Fund, explores ongoing efforts to protect species like the whooping crane and the black rhinoceros, and confronts the darker side of modern conservation, often overshadowed by racism and colonialism.
As the destruction of other species persists and the impacts of climate change wreak havoc on our planet, "Beloved Beasts" charts the ways conservation is evolving into a movement dedicated to safeguarding all species, including our own.
