Wild species, too, are escaping warming seas and desiccated lands in a mass exodus. Politicians and the media present this upheaval of migration patterns as unprecedented, blaming it for the spread of disease and conflict, and spreading anxiety across the world as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the science and history of migration in animals, plants, and humans tell a different story. Far from being a disruptive behaviour, migration is an ancient and lifesaving response to environmental change, a biological imperative as necessary as breathing. Climate changes triggered the first human migrations out of Africa. Falling sea levels allowed our passage across the Bering Sea. Unhampered by borders, migration allowed our ancestors to people the planet, into the highest reaches of the Himalayan Mountains and the most remote islands of the Pacific, disseminating the biological, cultural and social diversity that ecosystems and societies depend upon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn other words, migration is not the crisis – it is the solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracking the history of misinformation from the 18th century through to today’s anti-immigration policies, \u003cem\u003eThe Next Great Migration\u003c\/em\u003e makes the case for a future in which migration is not a source of fear, but of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855039647980,"sku":"9781526629227","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/c2666f3559797dbf84f2126fc7ff9110.jpg?v=1759262154"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sonia-shah.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
