Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Pages are sunned.

For more than 60 years, a small group of dedicated people have been fighting to defend Australia's unique wildlife. Those conservationists battle indifference and hostility from government and developers, whose actions are responsible for the decimation of spectacular natural beauty. Although much has been lost, the conservation movement has won great victories and secured the preservation of some of the world's most pristine and ecologically important landscapes.

Patriots is the powerful and provocative account of this nation-defining struggle. Charting the emergence of a new national green movement and its members' commitment to nature's survival, this exploration details the landmark environmental battles already faced as well as those lurking on the horizon.
