From world-renowned scientist Jane Goodall, as seen in the National Geographic documentary Jane , comes an inspiring message 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. "Goodall's intimate writing style and sense of wonder pull the reader into each account … The mix of personal and scientific makes for a compelling read." — Booklist "These accounts of conservation success are inspirational." — Publishers Weekly Review: Great Book - We gave this book to our granddaughter and she loved it. Review: Hopefully, an inspiring book for readers about worldwide efforts to save endangered species. - I bought this book for a high school senior who eventually wants to have a hand in animal conservation. I hope it will achieve that purpose.

A pleasant read
Get to know how we saved some species from the brink of extinction. But also see how the hope for many of our species solely depends on some devoted people, while realising that 99% of the rest is only interested in food, toys and pleasure... So is there really any hope?

Inspiring
I am very passionate about environmental protection and conservation, and this book was both inspiring and educational. I have nothing but admiration for all these scientists who recognized the need to save certain species and tiredly acted to pull them back from the brink of extinction. These people were already on task as early as 1970s, way before the environmental issues were highlighted in the media. The book also gives us hope that not all is lost and little changes by us individuals can and do make a difference in the world.
