Our planet is in a deepening environmental crisis. The conservation community, very regrettably, is not up to the challenge of coping with it, often relying on obsolete approaches and inadequately trained personnel. This book offers a 9-point framework for getting things on track by focusing on societal values and community action. Anyone who cares about the environment, from conservation professionals to citizens concerned about the living world around them, will find this book a must-read. The author relates stories from a distinguished career leading international conservation efforts around the globe. These range from powerful insights regarding efforts to conserve the critically endangered tiger to a poignant analysis of North America's extinct birdlife as it relates to the Mayflower's voyage -- considering "what if" a different assemblage of passengers had been onboard.
