Rewilding the World: Dispatches from the Conservation Revolution

Autor Caroline Fraser
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2010
A "Library Journal" Best Sci-Tech Book of the YearIf environmental destruction continues at its current rate, a third of all plants and animals could disappear by 2050--along with earth's life-support ecosystems, which provide food, water, medicine, and natural defenses against climate change.Now Caroline Fraser offers the first definitive account of a visionary crusade to confront this crisis: rewilding. Breathtaking in scope and ambition, rewilding aims to save species by restoring habitats, reviving migration corridors, and brokering peace between people and predators. A "methodical, lyrical" (Sacramento News & Review) story of scientific discovery and grassroots action, "Rewilding the World" offers hope for a richer, wilder future.

Recenzii

"With this book, Fraser does for rewilding what David Quammen did for island biogeography in his seminal "The Song of the Dodo." Fraser uses lucid prose, engaging stories and personal experience to make the ideas accessible and vital to a wide audience. This is no dreary rehearsal of past eco-errors and present concerns. Fraser takes us far beyond San Diego, straight into the lives of African elephants, Australian lizards and a Russian bear that intruded upon the Olympic Games, sitting on the sidewalk while languidly consuming a young girl's pet rabbit. 'We are so close, ' Fraser says, and we require just a strong nudge in imagination and social engagement to make the rewilding dream real. With this lovely, necessary book, we step closer to that ideal."--"The Los Angeles Times" "A call to retrofit more than a century of nature conservation in the United States and around the world . . . Fraser plows straight furrows through the ideological minefields of conservation politics."--"The New York Review of Books" "A thoughtful examination of rewilding and its discontents. . . an important book."--"The New York Times" "This is a serious book, about a serious subject. . . a crisis more threatening than climate change."--"San Francisco Chronicle" "Methodical, lyrical. . . If ever there was a conservation idea ready to take hold and change awareness, it's rewilding."--"Sacramento News & Review" "A clarion call to save wildlife and the wilderness by 'rewilding.'"--"The Daily Beast" "Readers will come away better informed about the complexity of the ecosystems around us and with an increased awareness of the many factors involved in maintaining natural order and balance. . . This truly is an essential read for conservationists, biologists, and anyone interested in the natural world."--"Library Journal," starred review "A fascinating, little-known story. . ."--"Associated Press"
"Makes a convincing case that [rewilding] represents the only realistic strategy for conservi
