The dramatic outcome of the extinction of our native wildlife
It is becoming silent and lonely all around us as we humans destroy the very basis of our existence: over 80 percent of our insects has disappeared, thousands of square kilometres of hedgerows and other habitats have been destroyed in recent years, marine animals are contaminated with plastic – the diversity of life is massively under threat.
Claus-Peter Hutter and Volker Angres reveal the reasons for this extinction of wildlife, point to what is behind it and name those responsible – in particular industrialised agriculture with its excessive use of pesticides and endless monocultures. They make it abundantly clear that it is high time for something to be done – they say what exactly, point to examples of how biological diversity has been saved and sow a grain of hope in the face of this apocalyptical development.
"The authors show in an unsparing way what has gone amiss all these years. This is truly a very interesting, fascinating, and thought-provoking book."
