About the book
From the remote islands where Komodo dragons reign to the forests of Madagascar housing peculiar aye-ayes, this is conservation meets comedy in the most unexpected ways. Adams brings his signature wit and philosophical curiosity to encounters with kakapos, Yangtze river dolphins, and northern white rhinos, transforming what could be a sobering catalogue of extinction into something funny, moving, and deeply human. It's a journey that celebrates the weird and wonderful diversity of life on Earth whilst confronting the uncomfortable reality of our impact upon it. Essential reading for anyone who cares about the natural world, this remarkable travelogue proves that environmental writing needn't be worthy or dull—just honest, hilarious, and utterly unforgettable.
