This was quite philosophical at times. Does it make sense to save a species that is then unable to live in the wild? Is it fair to that animal? What constitues true conservation? Life at all costs? There are even DNA banks, called frozen zoo's, with samples of over a thousand different species of insects, fish and mammals saved in them. (10,000 individual cells.) To what end remains to be seen. Overall it was a facinating read and I learned a lot.

I am addicted to this type of bookmark. I clip mine to the back of the book to make it easier to flip the ribbon in or out as needed. This brings my bookjig collection to 5.

Soubhiville I have one I really like too 🙂 2y

Next up for my non-fiction read. I adore rhinos so I'm hoping this book has workable plans for them, and all of the other threatened species on our planet.

My sons girlfriend loaned me this one because she thought I would be interested. I definitely am. So many books, so little time!
