About this ebook
In present times, we are increasingly witnessing a loss of life, especially among animals and plants. Some species are becoming extinct, while others struggle to adjust to new habitats. Human beings are looking for strategies to overcome the effects of climate change and mass extinction. The contributors to this volume reflect on how the current problems affect the living world. Artists and scholars from around the world share their views on the changes and challenges produced by the effects of the ecological crises in a variety of regions. While some of their stories concern loss, others offer hope by suggesting new ideas for living together in sustainable harmony within a multispecies world.
