"Conventional wisdom is that wild animals are being wiped out. But conventional wisdom skips some important details. Wildlife is rebounding. Not everywhere. Not every species. But a handful of wildlife populations have reached numbers unimaginable in a century. Red deer in Europe, bison in North America, humpback whales in the Atlantic. They have all seen their populations explode. They are back from the brink, numbering in the tens, or even hundreds, of thousands. Their return thrills those who have rooted for their recovery. It terrifies those who grew comfortable without them. This book tracks-and tries to understand-these dramatic rebounds. It shines a light on species returning to forests and farms, prairies and oceans, rivers and cities. It asks how these transformations can be happening and what they have to teach"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

By Christopher J Preston
I want to thank the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read this informative and interesting book.
This book focuses on several different animals and describes their decline in numbers and the reasoning behind it and then how they are making a comeback. Along the way we learn about other animals that are effected in the interlocking web of life.
Some of the animals discussed are wolves, whales, bison, and owls. But many other animals are mentioned. We also learn how humans have played a role in helping with the comeback. I guess it's only fair since we helped in the decline.
The book is easy to read and informative on various subjects. You really have to want to know about animals before starting this book due to all the facts it has. To me it was an eye opener. I read a lot on nature books so most of the basics I knew but I really did learn so much! (
