Emerald Labyrinth is an extraordinary book about the enormous challenges and hard-won satisfactions of doing science in the age of climate change in one of the least known, least hospitable places on earth, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Through the lens of yearly expeditions beginning in 2007, Eli Greenbaum chronicles key issues of biodiversity, species collapse, and climate change, and explores the importance of cataloging and preserving natural history, the major challenges of finding and collecting samples in the wild, and the years-long process of extracting useful DNA data. As a scientist, explorer, and old-school adventurer, Eli Greenbaum writes in the tradition of books like The Lost City of Z as he seeks out creatures struggling to survive in a war-torn country that is undergoing deforestation and the worrying effects of climate change that threaten the entire planet.
