Our author Juha Kauppinen has announced that a new book is on the way: Korvaamattomat – kertomuksia maailman avainlajeista (Irreplaceable – tales about the key species of the world). This will be the 5th published non-fiction title for Kauppinen, who is both an author and a journalist.
The Essential Biodiversity, his leading, award-winning title in our catalogue, is a reportage on the disappearing biodiversity on our planet. The starting point are the changing conditions of Finnish biodiversity, leading to globally relevant observations about the interdependence between mankind and nature, and the possible consequences of their clash.
Understanding this background makes it easier to grasp how changes in conditions – such as global warming – impact this web of life.
What sets The Essential Biodiversity apart is that it also looks for solutions to biodiversity loss. It answers the questions “What should be done now?” and “What I can do to prevent biodiversity loss?” The answers are surprising and provoke fresh thinking.
Congratulations and best of luck to the author!
