When I read his plea for wildlife, I had to take note of how we’ve done in the 80 years since this book was published. I’m glad to say yes, we saved the whooping crane, California condor and Arabian oryx from extinction. Bighorn sheep and white-tailed gnu are no longer endangered. Other animals, not such a good record: Asiatic lions, mountain gorillas, and woodland caribou are still in trouble, various rhino species still very rare, polar bears are now endangered due to shrinking ice habitat (not from overhunting as was the case in this author’s time). I was a bit happy though, that none of the animals Brooks mentioned as being on the verge of disappearance, have actually done so yet.
