Taking Care of Where We Live: Restoring Ecosystems

Gr 4 Up–Earth’s ecosystems keep everything on the planet moving, growing, and progressing. However, humans have not always respected the importance of these ecosystems for the futures of both our precious planet, and of humanity overall. This fantastic title gives readers a view into the complicated relationship between humans and the Earth throughout their intertwined histories. Wilcox explores the impact that people have had on their environment. Stunning visualizations through photographs and illustrations, alongside easy-to-follow and engaging text, make this book accessible to a wide age range. Wilcox offers pragmatic suggestions and real-life examples of restorative projects taking part across the globe to show that saving our beloved planet can start with even the smallest step. If people work together, we can reverse many of the negative impacts we have caused on our environment, and can start the process of rehabilitation and recovery of the planet. Educators could pair this heavily illustrated title on conservation with Eoin Colfer’s Global.
