Omschrijving
Bringing together famous conservationists in assessing wildlife and wilderness, this book aims to provide insights into how humans can become better stewards of the wild. It also examines other pivotal conservation issues, from the reasons why one in eight of the world's birds are endangered, to the impacts of global climate change.
THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION SOCIETY saves wildlife and wildlands through field research, education, and management of the world's largest system of urban wildlife parks, led by the flagship Bronx Zoo. WCS publishes an award-winning magazine, Wildlife Conservation, and partners with media outlets to cover pressing conservation issues. SHARON GUYNUP has worked as a science and environmental writer for National Geographic News Service (in collaboration with The New York Times Syndicate), Audubon, Popular Science, and other publications, and has edited for Scientific American. She worked as a professional photographer for 20 years and has traveled widely on assignment.
