Keep close to Nature’s heart...and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
— John Muir
 
 

A salute to Nature’s early influencers and the reawakening of conservation, at a time when awareness and action is more vital than ever.

This is a book about people with vision, who realized the importance of our natural world and dedicated their lives to conservation, preservation, and protection in diverse and inspiring ways. Thinkers, doers, and fighters with environmental mojo decades prior to it being fashionable.

We are at a tipping point, well past it in many areas, but a few ticks of time remain, perhaps, for a renascence, for the world to breathe a little, if we just lend a hand.

And the next generation of conservation crusaders is doing just that, out there making a difference. World in Their Hands is a celebratory, inspiring look at Nature’s yesterday and what’s in store.
