Birgit Schrowange ist alleinerziehende Mutter, steht seit über dreißig Jahren vor der Kamera und hat sich das Leben geschaffen, das sie sich erträumt hat.

This light-hearted collection of memoirs tells the compelling story of a company executive who walked away from global corporations and immersed himself in the world of non-profit; in this case, WWF, one of the world's largest conservation organizations. After years of working in the corporate sector, C.Y. Chong decided to pursue a new avenue of work. He joined WWF International as a finance manager and was soon promoted to director of finance; however, this book is about his non-financial experiences.

Climate change is alarming and complicated. Governments are acting too slowly or not at all, and not enough people feel informed or empowered enough to demand action. But ignoring a catastrophe of such magnitude is a certain path to disaster. The Big Swim puts forward the idea that personal growth arises from facing both inner tensions and threats to the biosphere.

Die 15-jährige Greta ist fassungslos: Vor unser aller Augen geht die Welt zugrunde, und nichts geschieht! Wieso? Warum interessiert es keinen, was für eine Welt den Kindern hinterlassen wird? Greta beschließt: Die Klimakrise ist jetzt und um sie noch abzuwenden, müssen wir jetzt endlich handeln! "Gretas Geschichte" ist das spannende Buch über ein Mädchen, das Fragen stellt und die Welt verändern möchte. Eine Geschichte, die deutlich macht, dass es sich lohnt, für seine Überzeugungen zu kämpfen - auch wenn man sich alleine fühlt und denkt, man sei zu jung, um etwas zu bewirken.

Natürlich wollen wir alle die Welt retten, nur ist das im Detail leider etwas freudlos. Lokale Produkte aus dem Bioladen schmecken zwar besser als Industrieware und Plastiktüten sind schon aus ästhetischen Gründen eine Zumutung. Wenn man aber konsequent klimaneutral sein will, bedeutet das eine radikale Lebensumstellung, was schnell zur neuen Öko-Religion wird, mit der man vor allem den Mitmenschen auf den Geist geht. Alexander von Schönburg ist dennoch überzeugt: Es muss möglich sein, angenehm und doch halbwegs ressourcenschonend zu leben.

Greta Thunberg bringt die Jugend auf die Straße. Szenen aus dem Herzen erzählt aus dem Inneren der Familie: Wie die Eltern Malena und Svante mit Gretas Asperger-Syndrom umgehen. Wie Greta erstmals vom Klimawandel hörte und seitdem nicht mehr aufhören konnte, darüber nachzudenken. Wie sie ihre kleine Schwester Beata und ihre Eltern davon überzeugt, für das Klima zu kämpfen. Wie die Eltern beschließen, nicht mehr zu fliegen und überhaupt ihre Lebensgewohnheiten grundlegend zu ändern – für das Klima und für die Zukunft.

Alysia Vasey's earliest memories are of walking alongside her grandfather as they explored the West Yorkshire moors that they called home. As an adult, this love for wild things stayed with her, even as she learnt that her family's knowledge of edible plants were a legacy of a much darker time during the Second World War. After leaving Yorkshire in search of adventure, Alysia was eventually guided home by her motto: be true to yourself and you will become the person you were meant to be.

'जिम' कॉर्बेट का जन्म 25 जुलाई, 1875 को नैनीताल में हुआ था। उन्हें ब्रिटेन में शिकारी, प्रकृतिविद्, लेखक और जीव-संरक्षणवादी के रूप में जाना जाता है; लेकिन भारत में वह इन सभी से ज्यादा नरभक्षी बाघों और तेंदुओं के शिकारी के रूप में जाने जाते हैं। 18 साल के होते-होते जिम ने पढ़ाई छोड़ दी।

Joy Adamson is world-famous as the woman who walked with lions. These are the books that brought the story of her work to a public whose imagination was captured by the discovery of this remarkable interaction between man and beast. Born Free was first published in 1960, and tells the story of her relationship with Elsa, raising her from a young cub and later releasing her into the wild. Living Free and Forever Free continues Elsa's story and that of her cubs.

Françoise Malby-Anthony never expected to find herself responsible for a herd of elephants with a troubled past. A chic Parisienne, her life changed forever when she fell in love with South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony. Together they founded a game reserve but after Lawrence’s death, Françoise faced the daunting responsibility of running Thula Thula without him. Poachers attacked their rhinos, their security team wouldn’t take orders from a woman and the authorities were threatening to cull their beloved elephant family.

In A Bigger Picture, Vanessa Nakate exposes the shortcomings of our global discussions around climate change, which consistently envisage the environmental crisis as a problem for future generations. Such an image is only possible through the erasure of the voices of people living in the Global South, where environmental disasters are already having a devastating impact on communities, and especially on women. This is one of the great injustices of the climate crisis: those who have contributed the least to its creation are now suffering its consequences most severely.

Françoise Malby-Anthony is the owner of a game reserve in South Africa with a remarkable family of elephants whose adventures have touched hearts around the world. The herd’s feisty matriarch Frankie knows who’s in charge at Thula Thula, and it’s not Francoise. But when Frankie becomes ill, and the authorities threaten to remove or cull some of the herd if the reserve doesn’t expand, Françoise is in a race against time to save her beloved elephants. The joys and challenges of a life dedicated to conservation are vividly described in The Elephants of Thula Thula.

Claudia Praxmayer und ihr Mann kaufen einen alten Hof im Chiemgau, um auf dem riesigen Grundstück Lebensräume zu schaffen, in denen bedrohte Arten Zuflucht finden.

Igel, Vögel und Fledermäuse ziehen ein, Wildbienen und andere Insekten finden reichlich Nahrung, sogar die friedliche Koexistenz im Gemüsebeet ist (mit kleinen Kompromissen) möglich.

They are believed to have been assassinated by one of the criminal networks whose ecological exploitation they were working to expose.

Wracked by guilt for breaking a childhood bond with her naturalist father and fearful for the future of the planet in light of the catastrophic impact of climate change, Annabel sets out on a personal journey of redemption. She seeks to reconnect with nature and wildlife in the one place she knows she can make a real difference – her own, barren, neglected garden. Guided by her eccentric, octogenarian neighbour, and with the ghost of her late father never far from her thoughts, Annabel begins to rediscover the therapeutic art of wildlife gardening.

Jane Goodall, a naturalista mais célebre do mundo, e o escritor Douglas Abrams tratam de uma característica humana fundamental para enfrentar as adversidades: a esperança. Com a sabedoria de quem dedicou a vida à natureza, Jane explica por que, apesar da crise climática, da perda de biodiversidade e das turbulências políticas, ainda acredita na humanidade e na construção de um mundo melhor. Ela nos apresenta quatro razões para mantermos essa chama viva dentro de nós: o maravilhoso intelecto humano, a resiliência da natureza, o poder dos jovens e o indômito espírito humano.

Las cosas suceden por alguna razón... y las transformaciones colectivas nos sacuden estando inmersos en procesos y circunstancias individuales, para que cada uno las viva, aprenda y transite a su manera, para destilar lo que cada cual ha elegido de esa experiencia, entretejida con el resto de nuestro caminar. Por tanto, cada historia que emana de la erupción volcánica que acaeció el año 2021 en el volcán Cumbre Vieja, en la isla corazón, La Palma, es única, irrepetible, intransferible.

Shetland is a place bound together by community, history and culture. But when a huge windfarm is greenlit to export energy to mainland Scotland, it creates rifts between neighbours, friends and even families. One side supports the benefit to a planet spiralling into climate disaster; the other challenges the impact on an environment with an already struggling wildlife population. As an environmental journalist, Marianne is drawn to investigate this story of sustainable energy that is irrevocably tied to her grief. But nothing is ever straightforward.

“. . . watch with me as a grand and beautiful picture unfolds, of the interconnectedness of all things.” No endeavor engages so deeply, so personally with nature as farming, whether on a thousand acres or in the gardener’s window box. When farmers delve into nature’s mysteries they follow in the footsteps of the myriad curious natural scientists who came before. Join Athena (Teena) Tainio on a journey that illuminates the diverse wonders of the building blocks of life and gain a new appreciation for the inspiring and powerful dynamics of life on our planet, our farms, Gaia.
