Wild Hope takes readers to extraordinary places to meet
conservation's heroes and foot soldiers - and to discover the new
ideas they are generating about how to make conservation work on
our hungry and crowded planet. The journey starts in the
floodplains of Assam, where dedicated rangers and exceptionally
tolerant villagers have together helped bring Indian rhinos back
from the brink of extinction. In the pine forests of the Carolinas,
we learn why plantation owners came to resent rare woodpeckers-and
what persuaded them to change their minds. In South Africa, Andrew
Balmford investigates how invading alien plants have been drinking
the country dry, and how the Southern Hemisphere's biggest
conservation program is now simultaneously restoring the rivers,
saving species, and creating tens of thousands of jobs. The
conservation problems Balmford encounters are as diverse as the
people and their actions, but together they offer common themes and
specific lessons on how to win the battle of conservation-and the
one essential ingredient, Balmford shows, is most definitely hope.
