Lost Wonders

In Lost Wonders, author and journalist Tom Lathan explores the poignant stories of ten species that have gone extinct since the beginning of the twenty-first century. As we face what many believe to be Earth’s sixth mass extinction, Lathan recounts encounters with these lost wonders—from giant tortoises to tiny snails—bringing them momentarily back to life through the memories of those who studied and sought to save them. This audiobook serves as both an intimate reflection on what we have lost and a compelling reminder of the urgent need to protect the species still at risk.
