Rescuing the Planet Protecting Half the Land to Heal the Earth【電子書籍】[ Tony Hiss ]

<p>**An urgent, resounding call to protect 50 percent of the earth's land by 2050ーthereby saving millions of its speciesーand a candid assessment of the health of our planet and our role in conserving it, from the award-winning author of <em>The Experience of Place</em> and veteran <em>New Yorker</em> staff writer.</p> <p>"An upbeat and engaging account of the remarkable progress being made to preserve vast wild spaces for animals to roam." ー<em>The Wall Street Journal</em>**</p> <p>Beginning in the vast North American Boreal Forest that stretches through Canada, and roving across the continent, from the Northern Sierra to Alabama's Paint Rock Forest, from the Appalachian Trail to a ranch in Mexico, Tony Hiss sets out on a journey to take stock of the "superorganism" that is the earth: its land, its elements, its plants and animals, its greatest threats--and what we can do to keep it, and ourselves, alive.</p> <p>Hiss not only invites us to understand the scope and gravity of the problems we face, but also makes the case for why protecting half the land is the way to fix those problems. He highlights the important work of the many groups already involved in this fight, such as the Indigenous Leadership Initiative, the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, and the global animal tracking project ICARUS. And he introduces us to the engineers, geologists, biologists, botanists, oceanographers, ecologists, and other "Half Earthers" like Hiss himself who are allied in their dedication to the unifying, essential cause of saving our own planet from ourselves.</p> <p>Tender, impassioned, curious, and above all else inspiring, <em>Rescuing the Planet</em> is a work that promises to make all of us better citizens of the earth.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
