<p>What\u2019s to be done when only three spotted owls are left in Canada\u2019s wild? When wolves eat endangered caribou, cormorants kill rare trees, and housing developments threaten a tiny frog? <\/p><p>Environmental journalist Sarah Cox has witnessed what happens when we drive species to the brink of extinction. In <i>Signs of Life<\/i>, she tags along with the Canadian military, Indigenous guardians, biologists, conservationists, and ordinary people who are racing to save hundreds of species before it\u2019s too late.<\/p><p>Travelling across the country, Cox visits the Toronto Zoo, home of Canada\u2019s only wildlife biobank, where scientists conserve living cells from endangered species in the event of future loss; tours Canada\u2019s military bases, home to some of Canada\u2019s last preserved ecosystems; and travels to Indigenous communities where land stewards are striving to restore the delicate ecological balance that has sustained people for millennia. <\/p><p>Through the eyes and work of individuals who are bringing species back from the precipice, Cox delivers both an urgent message and a fresh perspective on how we can protect biodiversity and begin to turn things around.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
