Half of all species could disappear by the end of the century, and scientists now concede that most of America's endangered animals will survive only if conservationists keep rigging the world around them in their favor. In Wild Ones, journalist Jon Mooallem follows three particular endangered species: the polar bear, the little-known Lange's metalmark butterfly, and the whooping crane. His story is as much about the wild animals as the humans who love, exploit, and market their fellow species. "At times poignant, at times playful, at times provocative, Wild Ones is altogether fantastic."--Maria Popova, Brain Pickings
