____________________________ Across the planet the futures of young people hang in the balance
as they face the harsh realities of the environmental crisis. Isn't it time we made their
voices heard? The Children of the Anthropocene by conservationist and activist Bella Lack
chronicles the lives of the diverse young people on the frontlines of the environmental crisis
around the world amplifying the voices of those living at the heart of the crisis. Advocating
for the protection of both people and the planet Bella restores the beating heart to global
environmental issues from air pollution to deforestation and overconsumption by telling the
stories of those most directly affected. Transporting us from the humming bounty of Ecuador's
Choco Rainforest and the graceful arcs of the Himalayan Mountains to the windswept plains and
vibrant vistas of life in Altiplano Bella speaks to young activists from around the world
including Dara McAnulty Afroz Shah and Artemisa Xakriabá and brings the crisis vividly to
life. It's time we passed the mic and listened to different perspectives. Bella's manifestos
for change will inspire and mobilize you to rediscover the wonders and wilds of nature and
ultimately change the way you think about our planet in crisis. This is your chance to hear
the urgent stories of an endangered species too often overlooked: the children of the
Anthropocene. ____________________________'Extraordinarily moving wild and engaging - the book
