In this all-too-real tale, Pittman does an excellent job of showing the history of the Florida Panther, how the sub-species came to the brink of extinction, and how government officials bungled the attempt at saving them before begrudgingly doing what it took to save the sub-species. Outstanding work bringing to light an amazing story of the perils of human intervention into natural systems - and how humans can occasionally do something right by those natural systems. Very much recommended. ( ) Cat Tale is awesome. The Florida Panther, closely related to the cougar, was thought extinct in Florida. Then scientists discovered a small and genetically weak population. And thus begins an epic story over decades with a cast of characters battling to save the Panther from extinction. There are many improbable twists and turns, typical Florida weirdness and dirty dealings. All told with a wry sense of humor and wit. I won't retell the tale because that would spoil the fun. But this is also a serious book despite the joy in reading, there is much to learn about how endangered species, government agencies, politicians, scientists, the public and big money developers all interplay. I learned a lot, will remember a lot, and after emerging from a dark tunnel of human corruption it ends with an optimistic vision of the future. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"It wasn't so long ago when a lot of people thought the Florida panther was extinct. They were very nearly right. That the panther still exists at all is a miracle--the result of a desperate experiment that led to the most remarkable comeback in the history of the Endangered Species Act. And no one has told the whole story--until now. With novelistic detail and an eye for the absurd, Craig Pittman recounts the extraordinary story of the people who brought the panther back from the brink of extinction, the ones who nearly pushed the species over the edge, and the cats that were caught in the middle"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
