Beloved Beasts

Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction

Michelle Nijhuis

Discover the history of the modern conservation movement through the individuals who built it in this captivating book. Science journalist Michelle Nijhuis takes readers on a journey from the early battles to save iconic species like the bald eagle and American bison to the current global effort to protect all life on earth. Learn about the vital role of scientists and activists like Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson, as well as lesser-known figures who shaped conservation history. Delve into the origins of organizations like the Audubon Society and World Wildlife Fund, and explore current efforts to protect endangered species like the black rhinoceros and whooping crane. This powerfully informative book confronts difficult issues like racism and colonialism that have long overshadowed conservation efforts. With the effects of climate change escalating, Beloved Beasts is a must-read for anyone interested in protecting the natural world.
