In the early months of 2020, the world's attention was riveted on
Australia, where the nation's iconic wildlife fought for survival
in the face of unprecedented wildfires. Images of koalas drinking
from firefighters' water bottles went viral and became the global
face of a catastrophe that would kill as many as three billion
animals. Known as the Black Summer, the fire season was responsible
for more wildlife deaths and near-extinctions than any other single
event in Australian history. Flames of Extinction, written by a
journalist at the heart of this news coverage, is the first book to
tell the stories of Australia's record-setting fires, focusing on
the wild animals and plants that will be forever changed. As news
of the fires spread around the world, journalist John Pickrell was
inundated with requests for articles about the danger to
Australia's wildlife. The picture seemed grim, from charred koalas
to flames that burned so hot not even animal skeletons remained.
But Pickrell's reporting exposed a larger picture of hope. Flames
of Extinction tells the story of the scientists, wildlife
rehabilitators, and community members who came together to save
wildlife and protect them in the future. As climate change
intensifies and devastating wildfires become more commonplace,
Australia's Black Summer offers a poignant warning to the rest of
the world. Through evocative and urgent storytelling, Flames of
Extinction puts readers on the ground to witness the aftermath of
one of Australia's greatest tragedies and inside the inspiring
effort to save lives.
