Animal Conservation

A mother cat and her kittens, shot with a pellet gun. A poacher illegally stalking a bear. Peg Kehret tells these true stories and more as she invites readers into her life on a small wildlife sanctuary. Vividly showing the joys of animal rescue while providing facts about the animals and birds she encounters, Kehret also shares the tragedy of her husband's sudden death, and the pain of losing Pete, the shelter cat who co-authored three of her books.

A response to the devastating 2019-20 bushfires, Animals Make Us Human both celebrates Australia’s unique wildlife and highlights its vulnerability. Writers and researchers reflect on their connection with animals and nature. They share moments of wonder and revelation from encounters in the natural world: seeing a wild platypus at play, an echidna dawdling across a bush track or the inexplicable leap of a thresher shark; watching bats take flight at dusk or birds making a home in the backyard; or following possums, gliders and owls into the dark.

Der sechsjährige Oskar und seine vierjährige Schwester Romy aus dem Tumbawunda-Tal machen im Frühjahr eine schreckliche Entdeckung: Nirgends summt es, nirgends brummt es.

Nachdenklich gehen sie abends zu Bett. Doch die Wildbienen und die Tiere gehen ihnen nicht mehr aus dem Kopf. Kurz vor dem Einschlafen passiert es: Im Halbschlaf sprechen sie in Angst um Hummeln, Eichhörnchen, Igel und Co. den magischen Code aus.
