Synopsis: We all need safe places to live and safe paths to travel. Animals, too.Meet the people who are stitching the planet's habitats back together.Let&’s explore together how scientists, engineers, and lots of everyday people are working to make sure that the wildlife so essential to Earth&’s health and beauty continues to freely move through the landscapes, waterways, and skylines of this richly inhabited planet. Combining first-person reporting with research and stunning two-color art from illustrator Jamie Green, Wildlife Crossings of Hope takes a personal, in-depth look at wildlife crossings, corridor projects, and dam removal efforts around the world, from an underpass for elephants in Kenya to the Un-Dam the Klamath movement in the U.S. to the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor, which extends from southern Mexico to Panama. Above all, this is a book that invites young people to think of themselves and wildlife as part of one community that urgently needs restoration and protection. Back matter includes actions for kids to take, a complete listing of the scientific names of all creatures discussed, source notes, a bibliography, an index, and more. Books for a Better Earth™ are designed to inspire children to become active, knowledgeable participants in caring for the planet they live on.A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
