“You will be inspired” by these true stories from twenty leaders of the conservation movement detailing their tireless, fascinating work preserving wildlife (Jane Goodall).
Today we are faced with the frightening possibility that as many as fifty percent of species currently alive will become extinct before the end of this century. This statistic is so staggering that scientists have begun to refer to the twenty-first century as the “sixth extinction.”
But while this is alarming, all hope is not lost, as conservation experts across the globe are working tirelessly to preserve our planet for future generations.
In Wild Lives, twenty of these pioneers share their stories via exclusive interviews. Coming from different countries, diverse cultures, and specializing in different species, all of these conservationists have an important characteristic in common: they have committed their lives to saving our planet and the majestic variety of species that call it home. Some of these esteemed contributors include:
- Beverly and Dereck Joubert, National Geographic filmmakers and big cat experts
- Ric O’Barry, dolphin advocate and trainer of Flipper
- George Schaller, famed field biologist and author
- Yossi Leshem, Israeli ornithologist
- Dominique Bikaba, gorilla activist
- Paul Hilton, award-winning wildlife photographer
Impassioned and inspiring, Wild Lives is “a wonderful read.” An important and timely reminder of the beauty and fragility of our world, it highlights the obligation every person has towards preserving it (Jane Alexander, actress and author of Wild Things, Wild Places).
