About this listen

At a time of unparalleled environmental change, there has never been a greater need for new ways of defending nature. In this forward-thinking work, Paul Jepson and Richard Ladle cover all aspects of modern conservation to provide a fascinating look into how we’re fighting for the earth’s species and habitats, as well as details on where conservation is heading, and how we can all contribute. Because it will be far more than just a pity when we lose the polar bears, pandas, and parrots.

Editorial reviews

Conservation of nature is even more complex than ever in our modern, globalized world, and this guide from renowned University of Oxford conservation scientists Paul Jepson and Richard Ladle provides a thorough introduction to this important topic. An appealing, energetic narration from screen and voice actress Miranda Nation brings brightness and optimism to Jepson and Ladle's concise, forward-thinking work, which offers a comprehensive overview that includes discussions of historical and modern conservation movements, bureaucratic issues, criticism, rebuttals, and conservation's future.

“An amazingly rich, readable, and insightful account of the conservation movement.” (Jeffrey Sayer, International Union for the Conservation of Nature, Science Advisor for Forests)
“A thoughtful book about how and why we care about nature's loss – and what we must do to prevent it.” (Stuart Pimm, Doris Duke Professor of Conservation at Duke University)
“Authoritative, succinct and clearly written – this book is the perfect primer not just on modern conservation, but on its historical roots and the future it might offer to our beleaguered planet.” (Mark Cocker, author, naturalist, and regular contributor to Country Diary in The Guardian)
“Fascinating reading for anyone interested in the ‘business’ of conservation, this book provides new perspectives on the challenges of conservation in the 21st century.” (Kathy Mackinnon, Lead Biodiversity Specialist, Environmental Department, World Bank)
