It’s no secret that our planet—and the delicate web of
ecosystems that comprise it—is in crisis. Environmental
threats such as climate change, pollution, habitat loss, and
land degradation threaten the survival of thousands of plant
and animal species each day. In 100 Heartbeats,
conservationist and television host Jeff Corwin provides an
urgent, palpable portrait of the wildlife that is suffering
in silence and teetering on the brink of extinction. From
the forests slipping away beneath the stealthy paws of the
Florida panther, to the giant panda’s plight to climb ever
higher in the mountains of China in search of sustenance, to
the brutal poaching tactics that have devastated Africa’s
rhinoceros and elephant populations, Corwin takes readers on
a global tour to witness firsthand the critical state of our
natural world. Along the way, he shares inspiring stories of
battles being waged and won in defense of the earth’s most
threatened creatures by the conservationists on the front
lines. These stories of hope and progress underscore an
important message: Our own survival, as well as that of the
world’s wildlife, is in our hands. The race to save the
planet’s most endangered wildlife is under way. Every
heartbeat matters.
