The environmental problems described in this book - global warming, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, deforestation, desertification, etc. - are real and happening. The scientific data cited in the book is based on real research and reports. But the characters, specific dialogues, and parts of the plot in this book are fictional and are intended to convey the urgency of the environmental crisis through the form of stories. The real James, George, Mary and Robert are countless scientists, photographers, anthropologists, environmentalists, and Indigenous communities around the world. They are on the front lines every day to witness and record the changes in the earth. Each of us can be a part of them. Start today by reducing a plastic bag, saving one kilowatt-hour of electricity, and choosing sustainable products. The earth does not need humans. But humanity needs the earth. Let's act while it's still too late.
