With political leaders who deny climate change, species that are fighting for their very survival, and the planet’s last places of wilderness growing smaller and smaller, what can a single person do? In .Nature’s Allies., Larry Nielsen uses the stories of conservation pioneers to show that through passion and perseverance, we can each be a positive force for change.. . In eight engaging and diverse biographies—John Muir, Ding Darling, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, Chico Mendes, Billy Frank Jr., Wangari Maathai, and Gro Harlem Brundtland—we meet individuals who have little in common except that they all made a lasting mark on our world. Some famous and some little known to readers, they spoke out to protect wilderness, wildlife, fisheries, rainforests, and wetlands. They fought for social justice and exposed polluting practices. They marched,wrote books, testified before Congress, performed acts of civil disobedience, and, in one case, were martyred for their defense of nature. .Nature’s Allies. pays tribute to them all as it rallies a new generation of conservationists t | 出版日期 | Book 2017Latest edition | 关键词 | Conservationists; Yosemite National Park; National Wildlife Refuge System; U; S; Biological Survey; Natio | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-797-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-61091-797-1 | copyright | Larry A.
