Restoring wildlife, reconnecting nature, inspiring hope.
Join award-winning science journalist Hillary Rosner for a lively conversation about her book ROAM: Wild Animals and the Race to Repair Our Fractured World, the inspiring story of reconnecting ecosystems, restoring wildlife corridors, and reimagining a future where humans and animals can thrive together.
This book tour of Western Montana is presented by the Center for Large Landscape Conservation in partnership with The Vital Ground Foundation, Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, Park County Environmental Council, and local, independent bookstores.
At each event Rosner will explore some of the stories from her book in conversation with Christopher Preston (Missoula) and Joseph O’Connor (Bozeman and Livingston). The evening will wrap up with a book signing and an audience Q&A featuring a panel of local conservation experts. The discussion will touch on how the movement to reconnect critical landscapes is playing out in Montana.
From the publisher, Patagonia Books:
“This book illustrates a massive and underreported problem: how a completely human-centered view of the world has impacted the ability of other species to move around. But it’s also about solutions and hope: How we can forge new links between landscapes that have become isolated pieces. How we can stitch ecosystems back together, so that the processes still work, and the systems can evolve as they need to. How we can build a world in which humans recognize their interconnectedness with the rest of the planet, and view other species with empathy and compassion.”
