Book Review
Nowhere Left to Go: How Climate Change is Driving Species to the Ends of the Earth, by Benjamin von Brackel, The Experiment, New York, 2022, 278 pp. ISBN: 978-1-61519-861-0 (Translated by Ayça Türkoğlu).
One of the nine components of the
scientifically based planetary boundaries framework* is the loss of biosphere integrity (biodiversity
losses and extinction).
Biodiversity is all the living
things on our planet – from the smallest bacteria to the largest plants and
animals…. Biodiversity on Earth is the result of four billion years of
evolution.
The Royal Society
Relatively recently, a new
scientific field of research has emerged ̶ movement
ecology or climate change-induced migration of flora and fauna. Placed within such
context, this book, originally published in Germany (2021) under the title Die Natur auf der Flucht, reports numerous
examples of how the biodiversity threshold of our world is being overstepped.
