Tenacious Beasts: Wildlife Recoveries and Hope | Christopher Preston

Philosopher and conservationist Christopher Preston tells stories from his recent book "Tenacious Beasts: Wildlife Recoveries That Change How We Think about Animals". Animals back on the landscape after an absence get a second chance at being understood. Today's knowledge of ecology and wildlife biology puts us in a better position to share our surroundings. And animal returns are not only good for biodiversity. They can be good for the climate and for our moral selves.

Christopher J. Preston is an English-born writer and philosophy professor based in Missoula, MT. He has written on topics related to wildlife, environment, climate, and technology for venues that include The Atlantic, Orion, Smithsonian, Discover, the BBC, Sierra, the Wall Street Journal and numerous academic venues.
