Yet hope for the future can be found in the \"rescue effect,\" which is nature's innate ability to help organisms persist during hard times. Like a thermostat starting the air conditioning when a room gets too warm, the rescue effect automatically kicks in when organisms are stressed or declining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Rescue Effect\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Mehta Webster reveals the science behind nature's inherent resilience, through compelling stories of species that are adapting to the changing world—including tigers in the jungles of India, cichlid fish in the great lakes of Africa, and corals in the Caribbean. In some cases, like the mountain pygmy-possum in the snowy mountains of southeast Australia, we risk losing species without intensive help from people. As observers to—and the cause of—species declines, we must choose whether and how to help, while navigating challenging questions about emerging technologies and the ethics of conservation actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, Webster argues that there are good reasons to expect a bright future, because everywhere we look, we can see evidence that nature can rescue many species from extinction; and when nature alone is not up to the task, we can help. Combining rigorous research with gripping storytelling, \u003ci\u003eThe Rescue Effect\u003c\/i\u003e provides the cautious optimism we need to help save life on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855217938668,"sku":"9781643263977","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781643263977.jpg?v=1759264980"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/michael-mehta-webster.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
