Hard cover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. The dustjacket has a short tear. Poet, writer, and descendant of Charles Darwin, Ruth Padel set out to visit a tropical jungle and wildlife sanctuary in India-- and her visit turned into a remarkable two-year journey through eleven countries in search of that most elusive and most beautiful animal: the tiger. Armed with her grandmother's opera glasses and Tunisian running shoes, she set off across Asia to ask the question: can the tiger be saved from extinction in the wild?Tigers are an "umbrella species", they need everything in the forest to work in tandem: they eat deer, the deer need vegetation, the vegetation has to be pollinated by birds, mammals, rodents and butterflies. If you save the tiger, you save everything else. Today, the 5,000 tigers that still survive in the wild live only in Asia and are scattered throughout 14 countries. Padel says that while tigers will never become extinct?they are too popular for that?they may disappear from the wild. There are as many tigers in cages in the US as there are surviving tigers in the wild.As she travels she meets the defenders of the wild?the heroic scientists, forest guards and conservationists at the frontline, fighting to save tigers and their forests from destruction in the places where poverty threatens to wipe out all wildlife. She also examines her fascination (both as a poet and as the great-great-granddaughter of Charles Darwin) with nature, wildness and survival and in the end, becomes a knowledgeable advocate for the tiger. The result is a beautiful blend of natural history, travel literature and memoir, and a searing, intimate portrait of an animal we have loved and feared almost to extinction.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Tigers are the quintessence of strength and beauty, a glorious symbol of sheer power. But the same qualities that so fascinate us place the animals themselves among the most gravely endangered species of the world. The great-great-granddaughter of Charles Darwin as well as an acclaimed poet, Ruth Padel embarks on an astonishing journey to find out if tigers can be saved in the wild, searching forests from Bangladesh to Bhutan, China to Bhutan, China to Russia, Nepal to Thailand for that most beautiful of all animals, once known as the soul of Asia. Her two-year adventure through leech-infested jungles and mangrove swamps drops her headfirst into the controversial debates surrounding conservation. Tracking tigers on foot, elephant, and jeep, Padel experiences for herself their wonder, the awe and danger surrounding them, and learns the difficulties they, and all wild things face today as she meets the "defenders of the wild": the scientists and conservationists struggling to protect the forest and all its inhabitants from destruction. Exploring the tiger's jungles as both a poet and Darwin's descendant, Padel also explores our human need for nature, wildness, and survival, bringing to vivid life the latest scientific knowledge about tigers and their secret world: biology, family life, communication, and ways of killing. The result is an enchanting blend of natural history, adventure, and memoir, and an intimate portrait of an animal we have loved an feared almost to the point of no return. Can wild tigers be saved, or is their last moment before extinction.…
