He highlights the important work of the many groups already involved in this fight, such as the Indigenous Leadership Initiative, the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, and the global animal tracking project ICARUS. And he introduces us to the engineers, geologists, biologists, botanists, oceanographers, ecologists, and other \"Half Earthers\" like Hiss himself who are allied in their dedication to the unifying, essential cause of saving our own planet from ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTender, impassioned, curious, and above all else inspiring, \u003ci\u003eRescuing the Planet\u003c\/i\u003e is a work that promises to make all of us better citizens of the earth.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948864508192,"sku":"9780525563945","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780525563945.jpg?v=1763610866","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/rescuing-the-planet","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
