Download No Way Home: The Decline of the World's Great Animal Migrations AudioBook Free
Canine migration is a magnificent look: a mile-long blanket of cranes growing from a Nebraska river and filling up the sky; thousands of wildebeests marching across the Serengeti; a blaze of orange as an incredible number of monarch butterflies disperse their wings to fly. Nature's great migrations have captivated countless spectators, none more so than top ecologist David S. Wilcove. In No Way Home, his awe is palpable - as will be the growing threats to migratory pets or animals. We might be witnessing a dying occurrence among many varieties. Migration is definitely arduous, but today's travelers face unprecedented hazards. Skyscrapers and cell towers lure parrots and bats to untimely fatalities, fences and farms prevent herds of antelope, salmon are found en route between ocean and river, mating and wintering grounds are paved over or plowed, and global warming disrupts the synchronized schedules of predators and victim. The effect is a dramatic decline in the number of migrants. Wilcove guides us on the treacherous journeys, describing the barriers to migration and exploring what compels pets or animals to keep on trekking. He also brings alive the journeys of scientists who analyze migrants. Often as daring as their things, researchers accelerate wildly along deserted highways to track parrots soaring over head, explore glaciers searching for frozen locusts, and attire dragonflies with transmitters weighing significantly less than one one-hundredth of ounce. Scientific discoveries and advanced technologies are assisting us to understand migrations better, but only, they won't stop sea turtles and songbirds from heading just how of the bison or traveler pigeon. What's required is the determination and co-operation of the far-flung countries migrating pets or animals cross - a long time before extinction is a risk. As Wilcove creates, "protecting the large quantity of migration is key to safeguarding the glory of migration." No Way Home offers powerful ideas to protect those glorious journeys.
