Jane's unique access takes us inside these programmes, meeting first-hand a vast range of animals from Giant Pandas in China to the young generations of Whooping Cranes in Texas that are being taught new migration routes – led by human devotees in flying machines. In demanding natural and political environments conservationists risk their lives to save animals from the brink of extinction. Jane Goodall, who has become one of the standard-bearers for animal conservation through her numerous books, television programmes and close work with animals, is nonetheless defiant – 'While there is life there is hope', she states in her introduction to this profound and inspirational book. Scientists currently believe that habitats across the globe are losing dozens of species every day. The incredible rapid rate at which various animals and plants are disappearing from the planet is shocking. She provides an extensive list of organizations that desperately need assistance, either through financial donations or some other show of support, thereby giving us all an opportunity to feel like king of the jungle.Hope for Animals and Their World (Paperback) How Endangered Species are Being Rescued from the Brink Gail Hudson
Throughout the book, Goodall wisely emphasizes that the existence of such good-hearted individuals should not lull us into a false sense of security or otherwise prevent us from heightening efforts to prevent more animals from nearing the brink of extinction. What is most significant about the book is the hope it provides – the knowledge that despite the detrimental actions of some humans, there are those with the foresight and intelligence to strategize on behalf of animals and develop recovery plans for them. Insects, mammals, birds, fish – Goodall’s love for them and the people who care for them is apparent throughout her writing. They are environmentalists who not only must be experts in animal behavior, but also must navigate relationships with politicians, lobbyists, and other beasts to be successful in their efforts.Īlthough the book can be uneven, going into greater depths on some endangered species than others, the book encompasses a wide range of locales and fauna. These lesser-known scientists are no less heroic, doing work that can be as dangerous as it is frustrating. In her latest book, Hope for Animals and Their World, Goodall magnanimously shines a light on individuals who are helping animals in danger of extinction to reestablish their populations. Her dedication and tireless enthusiasm have not only contributed significantly to our understanding of evolution, but have also served as inspiration for countless others. She is such an icon that she deserves her very own species classification. Jane Goodall, inspired by Tarzan books, moved to Africa in her twenties to live with and learn about chimpanzees.
