"Compelling, Fascinating, sometimes unexpectedly moving, this vitally important book is, above all, a springboard for hope and transformation."--Isabella Tree
"A lucid and compelling look at the global movement of ecological rehabilitation."-- The Boston Globe
In a time of uncertainty about our environmental future--an eye-opening global tour of some of the most wounded places on earth, and stories of how a passionate group of eco-restorers is leading the way to their revitalization.
The Reindeer Chronicles demonstrates how solutions to seemingly intractable problems can come from the unlikeliest of places, and how the restoration of local water, carbon, nutrient, and energy cycles can play a dramatic role in stabilizing the global climate. Ultimately, it reveals how much is in our hands if we can find a way to work together and follow nature's lead. "Judith Schwartz proves, once again, that she is one of ecology's most indispensable writers. . . The Reindeer Chronicles is at once visionary and pragmatic--clear-eyed about the immense planetary challenges we face, yet unfailingly hopeful about our ability to forge a new relationship with nature. This book shows us what Aldo Leopold's land ethic looks like in the twenty-first century."--Ben Goldfarb, PEN America Literary Award-winning author of Eager
