About This Collection

International conventions and organizations tend to define “wildlife” as including all animals, plants and fungi living in the wild. More simply, living things, especially mammals, birds, and fishes are neither human nor domesticated. With global warming, many species are threatened and struggling to survive. Wildlife sanctuaries are protected areas that provide a safe haven for animals and their habitats. They help conserve biodiversity and prevent species extinction.

A scruffy orphan owlet named Alfie was rescued by award-winning nature author Carl Safina, leading to a profound friendship. Through this bond, Carl gained rare insights into owl family life, witnessing their recovery, courtship, and motherhood. This experience revealed to him that owls are relational beings capable of expressing love.

Carl argues that Western culture has distanced humans from their connection to nature, emphasizing that true progress requires a moral revolution. He believes that recognizing the complex relationships in nature is essential for addressing climate issues. His lyrical non-fiction blends scientific understanding with emotional connection, advocating for a shift in values towards a more harmonious existence with the living world. Learn more at TEDx.
