Yet we can find hope in the \"rescue effect,\" nature's innate ability to persist during hard times. Like a thermostat starting the air conditioning when a room gets too warm, the rescue effect automatically kicks in when organisms are stressed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Rescue Effect\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Mehta Webster reveals the science behind nature's resilience, through compelling stories of species adapting to our changing world: tigers in the jungles of India, cichlid fish in the great lakes of Africa, and corals in the Caribbean. In some cases, like the mountain pygmy-possum in Australia, species may be lost without our help. We are not only observers to species declines; we are often also the cause. In choosing whether and how to help, we must navigate challenging questions about emerging technologies and the ethics of conservation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ultimately, there are good reasons to expect a bright future. Everywhere we look, we see evidence that nature can rescue species from extinction. When nature alone is not up to the task, we can help. Combining rigorous research with gripping storytelling, \u003ci\u003eThe Rescue Effect \u003c\/i\u003eprovides the cautious optimism we need to help save life on Earth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Mehta Webster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643263978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643263977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Timber Press (OR)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michael Mehta Webster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482843308287,"sku":"9781643263977","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0873e09f-171b-4adc-9655-fdfa105f7a4e.jpg?v=1715999647","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rescue-effect-michael-mehta-webster-9781643263977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
