Summary
Migrating monarch butterflies lay their eggs next to busy highways in the United States. Wolves find safety in minefields along the Israel-Syria border. And a seabird population flourishes on a small Swedish island, protected by throngs of bird-watching tourists.
In The Persistence of Wild Things, award-winning journalist Emily Sohn takes readers on an investigative journey around the world to explore pockets of wildlife thriving in unexpected places. She speaks with researchers, digs into deeply complex questions surrounding modern relationships between people and wild animals, and reveals how our best efforts to help the environment may sometimes cause harm. Along the way, we begin to see the potential for a new approach to conservation, one that acknowledges the reality of today’s ecosystems and sees humans as part of nature, not apart from it.
Although coverage of environmental issues often induces despair, The Persistence of Wild Things leads with optimism. By highlighting adaptation in the wilderness that surrounds us, it offers glimpses of a future full of resilience and hope.
