Wild Things, Wild Places: Adventurous Tales of Wildlife and Conservation on Planet Earth

Since the early 1980s, Jane Alexander, a longtime, much-admired activist, impassioned wildlife proponent, and conservationist, has traveled to over
20 exotic places including Belize, Bhutan, East Africa, Peru, Madagascar, the Galapagos, India and Papua New Guinea, as well as to Hawaii, California, Idaho and Newfoundland to learn about jaguars, tigers, birds, marine iguanas, and lemurs. In the process, Ms. Alexander has learned much about nature and the world around us while working on behalf of organizations such as Panthera, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and The Audubon Society.

Now, in her brand-new travel memoir Wild Things, Wild Places: Adventurous Tales of Wildlife and Conservation on Planet Earth, Ms. Alexander offers a moving, inspiring, personal look at the vastly changing world of wildlife on planet earth as a result of human incursion, and the crucial work of animal and bird preservation across the globe being done by scientists, field biologists, zoologists, environmentalists, and conservationists. In Wild Things, Wild Places, Ms. Alexander writes movingly of her immersion into the world of wildlife conservation, of her coming to know the scientists throughout the world who are steeped in this work, of her travels with them – and on her own – to the most remote and forbidding areas of the world as they try to save many species, including ourselves.
