Rewilding the World Dispatches from the

ALibrary JournalBest Sci-Tech Book of the YearIf environmental destruction continues at its current rate, a third of all plants and animals could disappear by 2050along with earth's life-support ecosystems, which provide food, water, medicine, and natural defenses against climate change.Now Caroline Fraser offers the first definitive account of a visionary crusade to confront this crisis: rewilding. Breathtaking in scope and ambition, rewilding aims to save species by restoring habitats, reviving migration corridors, and brokering peace between people and predators. A "methodical, lyrical" (Sacramento News & Review) story of scientific discovery and grassroots action,Rewilding the Worldoffers hope for a richer, wilder future.

Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, and Outside magazine, among others. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
