By: Dutt, Bahar.
Publisher: New Delhi Oxford University Press 2019Description: xii, 223p.ISBN: 9780199474110.Subject(s): Travel -- Wildlife conservation -- IndiaDDC classification: 333.95416 Summary: We live in a time of serious environmental catastrophes. Every year we lose thousands of species, even as others slip deeper into danger. The extinction crisis is well known; what is not are stories of people trying to turn the tide. In Rewilding, environmental journalist Bahar Dutt documents stories of hope for India's natural world. She meets people who are trying to conserve species not just by replenishing their dwindling numbers, but also by restoring their habitats in the wild. This means going to great lengths, from airlifting corals from coast to coast, to going undercover as a spy to check the availability of toxic drugs that wiped out a bird. In the process, Bahar learns that though it may not offer easy answers, rewilding can offer great rewards. And that news about the environment doesn't always have to be bad.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
