Produktinformationen zu „100 Heartbeats: The Race to Save Earth's Most Endangered Species “

It's no secret that our planet--and the delicate web of ecosystems that comprise it--is in crisis. Environmental threats such as climate change, pollution, habitat loss, and land degradation threaten the survival of thousands of plant and animal species each day. In "100 Heartbeats, " conservationist and television host Jeff Corwin provides an urgent, palpable portrait of the wildlife that are suffering in silence and teetering on the brink of extinction.

From the forests slipping away beneath the stealthy paws of the Florida Panther; to the giant panda's plight to climb ever-higher in the mountains of China in search of sustenance; to the brutal poaching tactics that have devastated Africa's rhinoceros and elephant populations--Corwin takes readers on a global tour to witness firsthand the critical state of our natural world.

Along the way, he shares inspiring stories of battles being waged and won in defense of the Earth's most threatened creatures by the conservationists on the frontlines. These stories of hope and progress underscore an important message: Our own survival, as well as that of the world's wildlife, is in our hands. The race to save the planet's most endangered wildlife is underway. Every heartbeat matters.

"The importance of this absorbing and exciting book is that it bears witness to Earth's vanishing wildlife by an expert who has actually visited the species, one by one. Corwin reports their status and prognosis, their case histories, and humanity's chances to save each one--if we awaken in time." --E. O. Wilson, research professor, Harvard University, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "On Human Nature "and "The Ants " "On a warming world, conservation and wildlife protection is an increasingly desperate battle. Here are the stories of some real heroes, who should move us all to real action."--Bill McKibben, author of "Deep Economy

"

"A wonderful read filled with great outdoor adventure stories and fresh, interesting science. Jeff Corwin's love of animals shines through these narratives." --Bruce Babb itt, former US Secretary of the Interior, and chairman, World Wildlife Fund "Drawing from his travels to the front lines of the extinction crisis, Jeff Corwin paints a compelling
