The Beasts of the East

In The Beasts of the East, environmental journalist Andrew Moore explores the rich, nearly lost natural heritage of the eastern U.S., where once-thriving populations of elk, bison, and wolves faced near extinction due to industrialization and unregulated hunting. This audiobook chronicles the remarkable efforts to reintroduce these species and restore ecosystems, highlighting the challenges posed by suburban development and the ongoing climate crisis. Through conversations with conservationists, hunters, and biologists, Moore examines the complexities of coexistence between humans and wildlife, offering both a poignant reflection on what has been lost and a hopeful vision for the future of eastern landscapes.
