Join Sophie Pavelle on a low-carbon journey around Britain in search of ten animals and habitats threatened by climate change in the 21st century. Like many of her generation, Sophie Pavelle is determined to demand action on climate change. In her hilarious and thought-provoking first audiobook, she describes the trips she took to see ten rare native species: species that could disappear by 2050 and be forgotten by the end of the century if their habitats continue to decline.

In his new book Meltdown, Jorge Daniel Taillant takes listeners deeper into the cryosphere, connecting the dots between climate change, glacier melt, and the impacts that receding glacier ice brings to livability on Earth, to our environments, and to our communities. Taillant walks us through the little-known realm of the periglacial environment, a world of invisible subsurface rock glaciers that will outlive exposed glaciers as climate change destroys surface ice.

A revitalizing new perspective on Earthcare from Pulitzer Prize finalist William deBuys.

In 1995, the National Trust for Scotland acquired Mar Lodge Estate in the heart of the Cairngorms. Home to over 5,000 species, this vast expanse of Caledonian woodlands, subarctic mountains, bogs, moors, roaring burns, and frozen lochs could be a place where environmental conservation and Highland field sports would exist in harmony. The only problem was that due to centuries of abuse by human hands, the ancient Caledonian pinewoods were dying, and it would take radical measures to save them.

This is Wasserman's sixth book about his encounters with animal poachers in the wilds of Pennsylvania.

Wasserman relates the dangers of his job with pulse-pounding clarity. He is a wonderful storyteller. His crisp use of dialog makes his characters come alive throughout the book. Poacher Hunter contains seven of his best tales to date.

This book examines climate change's grim reality, emphasizing urgent action against future droughts, famine, and displacement.

Poacher Wars is an intense, well-written account about a true wildlife warrior and his fight against the criminals who plunder our natural resources. As a Pennsylvania Game Warden, Wasserman patrolled four hundred square miles of rugged mountain terrain where he investigated thousands of game law violations and arrested many violent career poachers.

David Walter is one of the few people alive who participated in the birth of Alabama’s artificial reef program in the mid-1980s. Information gleaned from this inaugural effort played an important part in the development of the nation’s fisheries. This riveting book takes the listener through the history and process of how artificial reefs are made, as well as illustrating the many types of materials used in reef making.

Get Real: A Positive Solution to Climate Change will revolutionize your understanding of the global climate issue. Adapting land management practices to a holistic and regenerative model, David Munson Jr. lays out in plain words how industry and individuals can continue using oil and natural gas, but changes the game with his tangible program of remineralizing the soil and making the Earth carbon negative. From shifts in agriculture techniques to the swift cultivation of prairie grass, listeners take a journey through the positive solutions needed.

This book is a second volume of true stories from a retired Kentucky game warden. Some are stories of adventure while chasing poachers. Others contain humor from the daily routine of an officer enforcing wildlife and boating laws in the bluegrass state. The author adds a few accounts of growing up with an outdoorsman father whose influence caused him to become a game warden.

In today's increasingly interconnected world, it is imperative that we grasp the urgency of addressing the future of our planet. The consequences of climate change and environmental degradation are becoming more evident with each passing day, and it is up to us to take action before it's too late. The Earth has provided us with abundant resources and a delicate balance that sustains all forms of life. However, human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and excessive use of fossil fuels have disrupted this balance, causing irreversible damage to our ecosystems.

The Paris Accords, widely accepted as the key to solving today's climate crisis, set a goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2050. But that's not good enough. The only way to guarantee a livable future is climate restoration, which can reduce greenhouse gases to historic levels. Scientist and entrepreneur Peter Fiekowsky explains the technology and maps a practical path that will let humankind survive and thrive.

Mehr Wildnis wagen - für ein vollkommen neues Verhältnis zur Natur. "Rewilding" ist die Antwort auf die Klimakrise. Es bedeutet: Kontrolle abgeben und die Natur sich selbst überlassen. In der Folge entstehen intakte Ökosysteme, die nicht nur Tieren und Pflanzen neue Lebensräume bieten, sondern auch für saubere Luft, sauberes Wasser und fruchtbare Böden sorgen. Die Kohlendioxid binden und vor Hochwasser und anderen Klimaextremen schützen. Simone Böcker verbreitet die positive Botschaft: Das Artensterben ist nicht nur aufzuhalten, es kann umgekehrt werden.

Change the way you think about the future. The fate of humanity can be daunting, but we don't need to live in that space. First, we need to change our attitude in order to implement nature-based solutions to deal with climate change. Good news: there are environmental trends and examples to change the way you think about how we can protect the planet. Get to know Zahra Biabani, a climate activist, influencer, CEO, and writer.

Depois de causar tantos danos ao planeta, será que conseguimos transformar a natureza, mas dessa vez para nos salvar? Em reportagem original, Elizabeth Kolbert, vencedora do Pulitzer pelo alarmante A sexta extinção, entrevista biólogos, engenheiros genéticos e atmosféricos e outros especialistas para tentar responder a essa pergunta e nos mostrar como os cientistas estão remodelando a Terra.

Es ist 2019. In Deutschland und der Welt treten Jugendliche in das Licht der Öffentlichkeit und rufen: "Wir streiken, bis ihr handelt!". Fridays for Future ist geboren. Was als Protestaktion einer schwedischen Schülerin begann, wurde binnen weniger Monate zu einer globalen Bewegung. Wer sind diese jungen Menschen? Was sind die Strategien von Fridays for Future? Und warum sind sie erfolgreich? Maurice Conrad ist seit Anfang an dabei: er vertritt die Bewegung in der Öffentlichkeit und arbeitet seit Beginn in regionalen und bundesweiten Strukturen.

China is setting an example for the US - and the world - to follow. We should all take note. China has been able to manage the difficult task of reducing pollution without slowing down economic growth. What can the US take away from China’s unique experience? Although the world often pits the US against China, when it comes to saving the planet, any progress by any country in reducing emissions is good for everyone. China has presided over the fastest industrialization and the fastest cleanup in history - it is worth taking a closer look to see how we can do better.

We have been shockingly bad at using our Bibles and our brains when it comes to conservation and the environment. Unhinged environmentalism is not the answer, but neither are ignorance and apathy. It’s time for something different. Christian responsibility for the natural world goes back to the very beginning, when God commanded us to “fill the earth and subdue it”. This dominion mandate is an authoritative alternative to both environmental activists and to those who think “conservation” is a word progressives made up.
