With the resurgence of red wolves and California condors, there is good news on the species front, as chronicled in this collection of success stories by renowned chimp researcher Goodall. Section one recounts the revival of six mammal and bird species, including Mongolian miniature horses and Australian wallabies, that became extinct in the wild but are being reintroduced to their natural habitat through captive breeding. Section two describes efforts to bring species back from near extinction, among them Brazil's golden lion tamarin and the North American whooping crane. Section three details continuing efforts to preserve 11 species, including the giant pandas of China, whose bamboo diet is disappearing, and the Asian vultures of India, whose disastrous population drop—from a reported 87 million birds to 27 breeding pairs in 2006—has led to a dramatic rise in disease incubated by putrefying cattle carcasses once scavenged by the carrion-loving birds. Goodall is no Pollyanna about species reclamation—she acknowledges that there have been more losses than gains—but these accounts of conservation success are inspirational. (Sept. 2)

野生動物保護這個行當的文獻前言,一貫套用的都是一種很憂傷的範式:這個要掛瞭!→因為愚蠢的地球人!→隻好最後掙紮下哎!→呀,那個也要掛瞭!→愚蠢的地球人啊!…… 熱心於此的民間高手微博控,天天刷齣來的業界消息應該也差不多哇?這麼常年被消極心理暗示洗腦的結果,...
評分去年底她來北京做瞭一係列活動,那時在新建成的中國科技館做公眾演講時,就說要發這本書,結果等瞭好一陣子纔齣來。看到有讀者說到封麵這張照片,書我還沒有拿到,但是就這張照片而言,我覺得這個綠色太生硬瞭,而珍與小黑猩猩這張拉手的照片,活動時根與芽辦公室作為禮物送瞭...

評分昨天剛看完,很少有紀實類的書,能讓人如此感動,原來在我所不知道的世界的另一些人身上,為瞭全體的人類,正做著偉大的貢獻.他們不是為瞭名,不是為瞭利,隻是不想那些珍貴的東西,因為人類的進程,而隻能成為標本.真心的謝謝他們.
