Wilson In this inspiring manifesto, an internationally renowned ecologist makes a clear case for why protecting nature is our best health insurance, and why it makes economic sense. Enric Sala wants to change the world—and in this compelling book, he shows us how. Once we appreciate how nature works, he asserts, we will understand why conservation is economically wise and essential to our survival. Here Sala, director of National Geographic's Pristine Seas project (which has succeeded in protecting more than 5 million square kilometers of ocean), tells the story of his scientific awakening and his transition from academia to activism—as he puts it, he was tired of writing the obituary of the ocean. His revelations are surprising, sometimes counterintuitive: More sharks signal a healthier ocean; crop diversity, not intensive monoculture farming, is the key to feeding the planet. Using fascinating examples from his expeditions and those of other scientists, Sala shows the economic wisdom of making room for nature, even as the population becomes more urbanized. In a sober epilogue, he shows how saving nature can save us all, by reversing conditions that led to the coronavirus pandemic and preventing other global catastrophes. With a foreword from Prince Charles and an introduction from E. O. Wilson, this powerful book will change the way you think about our world—and our future. https://www.enricsala.com/about daily 0.75 2024-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f241700a3b9e7503c42710c/d00e2b95-20af-4e46-9064-4fcbb0fb3ce9/EnricSala_Headshot_by_RebeccaHale_NGS.jpg About Enric https://www.enricsala.com/pristine-seas daily 0.75 2020-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f241700a3b9e7503c42710c/1597097382819-LV0DB9O1M241JTW8J31G/PristineSeasCover.jpg Pristine Seas - Pristine Seas: Journeys to the Ocean’s Last Wild Places By Enric Sala Forward by Leonardo DiCaprio Available Now There are places in the ocean virtually untouched by man.

Beneath the surface, our seas are in crisis—reefs are fading, marine species are declining, and underwater ecosystems are under threat. But the ocean can heal. Here is the blueprint. How to Revive Our Ocean is an inspiring, science-backed roadmap to restoring the world’s living waters. Written by world-renowned ecologist Enric Sala (founder of National Geographic’s Pristine Seas, which has protected marine areas totaling two-thirds the size of the U.S.) and global conservation strategist Kristin Rechberger (founder of Dynamic Planet and Revive Our Ocean), this definitive guide reveals how we can achieve the essential global target of protecting 30% of our ocean by 2030 (30×30). Richly illustrated with vivid storytelling, clear infographics, and detailed maps, this book blends visual wonder with actionable strategy. Sala and Rechberger demonstrate how, by protecting more of the ocean, we can replenish fish populations, revive dying coral, and secure the livelihoods and economies of coastal communities worldwide. Part eye-opening exploration and part practical action plan, How to Revive Our Ocean is an essential handbook for ocean lovers, coastal community leaders, entrepreneurs, conservationists, and all who carry the sea in their hearts. https://www.enricsala.com/declaration-of-support-eu-may-2023 daily 0.75 2023-06-12 https://www.enricsala.com/nature-of-nature-relaunch daily 0.75 2024-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f241700a3b9e7503c42710c/1598486101783-ZBUO9B67DSV7IILFIH74/09_NatureofNature_Book_creditNG.jpg https://www.enricsala.com/bottom-trawling-europe daily 0.75 2026-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f241700a3b9e7503c42710c/b5768aa9-6744-40bb-a3d3-b69f5bc86cfb/Anonomysed+Trawler+-+%28c%29+Open+Seas.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f241700a3b9e7503c42710c/bea203e8-803d-43d8-ba5a-49b2954e8c6e/BottomTrawling+Infographic.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f241700a3b9e7503c42710c/3b43c32f-90ba-4fda-bc4e-21482a785fe3/Plume+behind+trawler+-+%28c%29+Open+Seas.jpg https://www.enricsala.com/how-to-revive-our-ocean daily 0.75 2026-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f241700a3b9e7503c42710c/8615279b-f343-4047-bd2e-9d6e85f94aa6/Kristin+Rechberger.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f241700a3b9e7503c42710c/ef610d76-d786-47bd-9dfc-e675d5f14adf/Enric+Sala_Headshot.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f241700a3b9e7503c42710c/3d512e80-12a9-4fb0-8017-c224632e808b/How+to+Revive+Our+Ocean.jpg How to Revive Our Ocean - How to Revive Our Ocean Available for pre-order now Publishing May 2027 By Enric Sala & Kristin Rechberger Informative, practical, and beautiful, this inspiring book shows how we can bring life back to the ocean.
