"In 'Beloved Beasts', acclaimed science journalist Michelle Nijhuis traces the vibrant history of the modern conservation movement through the lives and ideas of the people who built it, from the nineteenth century to the present day. She describes the vital role of scientists and activists, explores today's global effort to protect species, and confronts the darker side of conservation, long shadowed by racism and colonialism. Now, as the effects of climate change escalate, conservation is becoming a movement for the protection of all species-including our own." from the back cover.
