Story of Life and the Environment

The Story of Life & the Environment - an African perspective is about the fragile miracle of life. It's a celebration of the Earth's rich and wonderful diversity - the species, populations, communities and ecosystems that surround us - and of nature's resilience. It unpacks the three major ecosystems: fresh water, the ocean and the land, and the teeming life each supports on and around Africa. The book is also about responsible planning and management of our environment and natural resources, of how we should respond to our planet's distress, and of recent efforts to redress damage and ensure sustainability.
