Overview

'It reads like a love letter to a world on the brink, blending the soul of a poet and the precision of a scientist... reminds you fiercely why every strange, wonderful creature is worth the fight' Professor Adam Hart 'This book is full of quirky stories that will not only entertain but inspire change' Woman's Day 'Leans into curiosity and hope, while also mourning the damage done' The GuardianThis is a story of survival and extinction, of life and death, of curiosity and perversion, of unimaginable joy and harrowing sorrow. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly unfolding mass extinction event, Nature's Last Dance takes readers across hunting grounds, through jungles and oceans, inside communities, through courtrooms, and into the heart of battles to survive against all odds. Across the planet, conservationists are locked in a high-stakes battle with the ghost of a drug lord and his herd of hippos. Scientists are fighting to save a flightless bird that romances rocks. Unconventional animals are upending 21st century beauty standards, and financiers are betting on whale poo to make its debut on Wall Street. 'The most breathtaking reminder of the wild and miraculous waking dream that is our natural world' Trent Dalton 'A lyrical call to awaken our love for the wild before the music stops' Dame Christiana Figueres 'Kyriacou brings a bold, fresh voice that speaks to the heart and the head' Judy Slatyer 'With biting wit and boundless curiosity, Kyriacou brings both levity and urgency to one of the greatest crises of our time' Cristiana Mittermeier
