From AudioFile:
Rather than just remind us once again that wildlife on the planet faces extinction, Jane Goodall shares some inspirational stories of endangered animals that have been restored to a bright future in the wild. Each account of a species being rescued bolsters hope for more public support and cooperation. Goodall is known for her 45 years of research with chimpanzees in Tanzania, and this audiobook demonstrates her diversity of knowledge about all animals. Although her voice shows its 75 years, her youthful personality and fresh outlook on learning shine through. Within a few minutes, listeners will be hooked on her ability to narrate stories written from her own experiences with wildlife restorationists. Her ideas and language depict a rich scientific education, but her message never becomes too complicated for any age group. J.A.H.
