Nowhere Left to Go: How Climate Change Is Driving Species to the Ends of the Earth
Author: Benjamin von Brackel
Format: Hardback
Number of Pages: 288
As humans accelerate global warming - while laying waste to the environment to erect cities and roads and clear wilderness for farmland - animals and plants flee to the margins: on scattered nature reserves, between major highways, or among urban sprawl. And when even these places become too hot and inhospitable, wildlife is left with only one path to survival: an often harrowing journey toward the poles in search of refuge, as they race to find a new home in a warming world. Acclaimed environmental journalist Benjamin von Brackel shows us which species are moving where, tracing their often awe-inspiring long-distance journeys and celebrating their remarkable resilience. But the lengths plants and animals must go is as tragic as it is inspirational, revealing entire species teetering on the brink of extinction. The dramatic consequences of climate change couldn't be clearer: We've destroyed our planet and left the living things all around us with one last chance at survival.
