Bringing Islands Back to Life
Conservation is impossible without the individuals who dedicate their
lives to doing the work
planet and all the creatures that
inhabit it—can suffer from obscurity. Large-scale or long-term
projects can end up making generalizations or focusing on results
and outputs, and failing to share the learned expertise of the
people doing the day-to-day work. But the reality is that there are people
who spend their lives in the field, on islands, reefs, and the ocean, working to preserve and restore biodiversity. Often, these individuals work in
relative anonymity and isolation, but their actions can provide a model for
conservationists everywhere.
