Beloved Beasts: Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction by Michelle Nijhuis

5.0

I think this is my favorite book that I've read for my Conservation Nonfiction Graduate Seminar this fall. Excellent storytelling, well-researched, and full of new-to-me information! I appreciated the historical insight into the conservation movement. The insight provided here focuses on big names, but it also includes key players who are often overlooked in science courses-- women, minorities, and those from the global south. I also appreciated the author's ability to acknowledge the complexity of these issues while also presenting hope for the future.
