About this audiobook

At a time when animal species are becoming extinct on every continent and we are confronted with bad news about the environment nearly every day, Jane Goodall, one of the world's most renowned scientists, brings us inspiring news about the future of the animal kingdom. With the insatiable curiosity and conversational prose that have made her a bestselling author, Goodall-along with Cincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard-shares fascinating survival stories about the American Crocodile, the California Condor, the Black-Footed Ferret, and more; all formerly endangered species and species once on the verge of extinction whose populations are now being regenerated.

Interweaving her own first-hand experiences in the field with the compelling research of premier scientists, Goodall illuminates the heroic efforts of dedicated environmentalists and the truly critical need to protect the habitats of these beloved species. At once a celebration of the animal kingdom and a passionate call to arms, HOPE FOR ANIMALS THEIR WORLD presents an uplifting, hopeful message for the future of animal-human coexistence.

    Even though this book is a little dated now, hearing Jane Goodall tell you about so many success stories dealing endangered species is such a treat. This has been sitting on my tbr for a while and I’m so happy I picked up the audiobook for it. So much joy and excitement is found in it!

    Jane Goodall, the grande dame of conservation, offers a new book on extreme conservation. She and her co-authors gives us stories, lots of them, about a few people doing whatever it takes to save the rarest of the rare from extinction. Her stories are told conversationally, as though Goodall is just talking over tea or a meal. Co-author Thane Maynard occasionally chimes in, as though something Goodall mentions reminds him of a story from his personal experience. The stories are simply presented, some are longer and more detailed than others. The book is organized clearly. Coverage is very broad. Hope for the Animals and Their World includes not just the charismatic megafauna and poster species (oh, they are here) but also frogs, fish, and even an insect. The stories focus on the individuals whose dedication and hard work are saving species. The book really celebrates these individuals was much as each saved species. That’s not to say this book doesn’t bubble over with the joy of a true animal lover talking about animals. It does. But these stories are mostly about the people. After Goodall et al tells these inspirational stories, she closes with details on how regular people can make a difference for rare animals. And readers are frequently urged to visit the Jane Goodall Institute’s website for more stories of hope. I found that a tiny bit annoying but it’s a minor quibble. The slightly uneven storytelling is another minor quibble. But it’s basically a good book that delivers what it promises.

    A very interesting and important theme, it's hightly enjoyable to read about people sacrificing everything to save a species from extinction. Unfortunately the book sometimes repetitive and more than often highly superficial. It's a pity because the theme deserves better.
