George Schaller's most soulful work, written in journal style with many asides about a creature who evolved only two to three million years ago (about the same time as humans). Each threatened species has unique problems; Schaller wanders through the panda’s: it's a specialist “bear” needing bamboo; its poached market price is high, and climbing; its breeding difficulties keep it a rare commodity; bureaucratic muddling contributes, and so does chronic shortage of habitat. Here, conservation biology confronts an evil that grinds against hope and shatters the planet's diversity. Written with hope.
[Peter Warshall, The Millennium Whole Earth Catalog, p.52]
