This is an amazing book. If you love animals, I am sure that you'll appreciate these stories that Dr. Jane Goodall shares. Listen to an excerpt of the Hope For Animals and Their World: How Endangered Species Are Being Rescued from the Brink by Dr. Jane Goodall.
At a time when animal species are becoming extinct on every continent and we are confronted with bad news about the environment nearly every day, Jane Goodall, one of the world's most renowned scientists, brings us inspiring news about the future of the animal kingdom. With the insatiable curiosity and conversational prose that have made her a bestselling author, Goodall-along with Cincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard-shares fascinating survival stories about the American Crocodile, the California Condor, the Black-Footed Ferret, and more; all formerly endangered species and species once on the verge of extinction whose populations are now being regenerated.
Interweaving her own first-hand experiences in the field with the compelling research of premier scientists, Goodall illuminates the heroic efforts of dedicated environmentalists and the truly critical need to protect the habitats of these beloved species. At once a celebration of the animal kingdom and a passionate call to arms, Hope For Animals And Their World: How Endangered Species Are Being Rescued from the Brink presents an uplifting, hopeful message for the future of animal-human coexistence.
