Summary
This book revisits many of the places and species shown in the television series Planet Earth, and through the thoughts and opinions of more than 40 international experts and leaders, reveals what the future is likely to hold for them, and ultimately, for humankind. It covers how climate change is affecting the Earth, why biodiversity is of value, what most threatens it, and how we can prevent extinctions, and why the beauty and nature of life on Earth is vital for our well-being.
