A captivating exploration of the future of our planet, Adam Hart's book has been recognized as a NEW SCIENTIST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022. With the current rate of extinction surpassing that of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, global conservation efforts are struggling to halt this devastating phenomenon. As a society, we are faced with critical decisions that will shape the fate of Earth's estimated 8.7 million species, including our own. As wildlife dwindles, conservationists are compelled to make difficult trade-offs. However, the questions of what to conserve and why remain complex. Should we prioritize the preservation of native species over newcomers (also known as invasives)? Should some animals be culled to protect others? What vision do we have for the natural world?
Rebecca Nesbit's lively and stimulating book offers surprising insights into these pressing questions, igniting a debate that we must urgently engage in. It challenges our preconceptions and encourages us to reevaluate our relationship with the natural world. Through her thoughtful analysis, Nesbit sheds light on the ethical dilemmas and trade-offs involved in conservation efforts, prompting us to consider the broader implications of our actions.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of our planet and the critical role that conservation plays in shaping it. It provides valuable insights into the challenges we face and the choices we must make to ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and the countless species that call Earth home.
