"The weight of the crises our planet faces can feel overwhelming and
disempowering. And the books that made
Mongabay’s annual list take a hard
look at the challenges — deforestation and species loss, climate-driven fires
and coral bleaching, and inequality and colonialism — and unflinchingly present
the gravity of each situation.
But they also examine humanity’s place in the fabric, frayed as it may be, of
the planet that sustains us all. Those connections are sometimes tangible — the
sustenance they provide, for example. But they are also spiritual, leveling
with wonder those among us with the courage to engage. And it’s from that
wonder that so many draw inspiration to “remain steady in this fight,” Cristina
Mittermeier writes in
Hope: “Standing with others shoulder to shoulder until
there is nothing left to stand for.”"
