06.24: The New Wild: Why Invasive Species Will Be Nature's Salvation

2015-05-29 03:05:52| Powells Books Events Calendar

For a long time, veteran environmental journalist Fred Pearce thought in stark terms about invasive species: they were the evil interlopers spoiling pristine "natural" ecosystems. Most conservationists and environmentalists share this view. However, a growing group of scientists is taking a fresh look at how species interact in the wild. In The New Wild (Beacon), Pearce goes on a journey across six continents to rediscover what conservation in the 21st century should be about. In an era of climate change and widespread ecological damage, it is absolutely crucial that we find ways to help nature regenerate. Embracing the new ecology, Pearce shows us, is our best chance.
