From Theodore Roosevelt to Al Gore; from Francis of Assisi to David
Attenborough - and from hundreds more men and women that you will know
little, if anything, about. Scientists, artists, business people,
priests, lawyers, poets, politicians, activists and more, from every
continent of the world. Their work has enthused us about the natural
world and warned us that we must do much more to preserve it: The
Indian woman who became the world's first environmental martyr; the
Baptist Reverend who asked 'What Would Jesus Drive?'; the Quaker big
game hunter who set up the first conservation organisation; the
Shakesperian actor who revolutionised organic gardening; and the
housewife whose campaign against toxic waste forced a President to act.
The book is a cornucopia of people who from time immemorial have put
their careers, reputations and lives on the line to protect our planet
from its governing inhabitants - the human race. Today, as thousands of
species of animals and plants are faced with extinction, thousands of
years of indigenous knowledge is lost in the face of technological
advance, and we become more and more aware of the potential doomsday
scenario of a warming world, we need Planet Savers more than ever.

PRAISE
"An inspiring collection of people making a difference ... a refreshing
antidote to apathy and the hopelessness that nothing can be done with
the environmental challenge so overwhelming and huge."
Thomas E. Lovejoy, President, The Heinz Center for Science Economics
and the Environment
"There has never been a more urgent need for environmental leadership.
This fascinating compendium of the good and great, the famous and the
unjustly forgotten, shows that individuals can change the world for the
better. This is a book to inspire, a potent record of heroes from all
cultures and backgrounds, and above all it is a petition, galvanising
us to greater action."
Mike Maunder PhD, Executive Director, Fairchild Tropical Botanic
Garden, Miami, Florida
"A timely book to recognise those who toil to save the world. The human
race's most redeeming feature is its ability to rise above
self-interest when the general good is threatened. There has never been
a time when this trait has been more necessary."
Robin Hanbury-Tenison, President, Survival International
"To me, environmentalists are the true heroes. It is they who
appreciate the wonders of nature - and have alerted the world to the
catastrophe that threatens from human beings' profligacy.
Environmentalists are also outstanding people, passionate, skilled,
often eccentric, and always worth reading about."
John Hemming, Expert on Amazon Peoples, former Director, Royal
Geographical Society
"This is a book that should not just be read to entertain, but to
challenge all its readers into action. It is my hope that you too will
join this distinguished list of people who care about the future of the
planet upon which we live."
Professor Sir Ghillean Prance FRS, VMH, School of Plant Sciences,
University of Reading, Scientific Director, The Eden Project
