Nowhere Left to Go - How Climate Change Is Driving Species to the Ends of the Earth (Hardcover)

From the underreported frontlines of the climate emergency, an at-turns alarming and awe-inspiring work that follows the harrowing migrations of animals and plants fleeing rising temperatures and drought in their natural habitats. As humans accelerate global warming while laying waste to the environment, animals and plants must flee to the margins: on scattered nature reserves, between major highways, or among urban sprawl. And when even these places become too hot and inhospitable, wildlife is left with only one path to survival: an often-formidable journey toward the poles as they race to find a new home in a warming world. Tropical zones lose their inhabitants, beavers settle in Alaska, and gigantic shoals of fish disappear - just to reappear along foreign coastlines. Award-winning environmental journalist Benjamin von Brackel traces these awe-inspiring journeys and celebrates the remarkable resilience of species around the world. But the lengths these plants and animals must go to avoid extinction are as alarming as they are inspirational: Sea animals - like fish - move on average 45 miles a decade to cooler regions, while land animals - like beavers and butterflies - move 11 miles. As even the poles of the Earth heat up, we're left with a stark and irreversible choice: Halt the climate emergency now, or face a massive die-off of species, who are increasingly left with nowhere else to go.
