Review
"Well conceived and very well written-- It should serve to clarify hard decisions that our nation must face in regard to habitat preservation for the future."--Peter Matthiessen
"This engaging report, sprinkled with sensible, targeted solutions to specific problems, is essential reading for concerned nature lovers, as well as a basic resource for environmentalists and policy makers."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Every bit as wise as it is readable. For a general reader, it is an unalloyed delight; for a conservationist, it is nothing less than essential."--T. H. Watkins
"Wilcove's fine contribution gives important support to the argument for a new and enlightened American ethic." --E.O. Wilson
