Thus, alongside the longest conveyor belt in the world currently over 23 kilometers long , is a very intensive program to restore the native jarrah forest along with the animals that inhabit it. Workers are justifiably proud of their successes. Having been there and seeing the mine and the large-scale restoration, I can testify to both the scale and importance. Finally, Balmford travels to the docks of Southern California.
See a Problem?
Fisheries, as most people know, are a wreck. Fisherman work harder to catch less. Off San Diego, California, a small group of fisherman organized to increase the value of their albacore tuna fishery.
Because there is zero bycatch. Bycatch is the euphemism for killing everything else around the fish you catch, which happens when you use seine or purse nets to catch tuna. The successful efforts created win-win solutions, where people benefited directly from conservation. Viewing problems through the eyes of those who suffer generates the necessary lateral thinking, and successful efforts use pressure rather than prosecution, creating carrots as well as some sticks. Political engagement is essential, and consumer pressure very effective.
Wild hope : on the front lines of conservation success
We should strive for improvement; perfection is elusive; patience and persistence are essential. While I may be personally more pessimistic about our future than Balmford is, I think his lessons are spot on and the stories inspirational. Constant work will be required to save humanity and the biodiversity that we all require, and this book shares some valuable lessons from the field.

University of Chicago Press, English View all editions and formats Summary: The collapse of fisheries. Unprecedented levels of species extinction. Faced with the plethora of gloom-and-doom headlines about the natural world, we might think that environmental disaster is inevitable.
But is there any good news about the environment? Yes, there is, answers Andrew Balmford in Wild Hope, and he offers several powerful stories of successful conservation to prove it. This tragedy is still avoidable, and there are many reasons for hope if we find inspiration in stories of effective environmental recovery.
