Once and Future Giants

"Once and Future Giants" by Sharon Levy explores the history of Pleistocene megafauna, examining their extinction events and the role human activity played in these past losses. The book also considers contemporary conservation debates, including proposals to reintroduce large species into their former habitats to restore ecosystems and protect endangered animals. Through an analysis of scientific theories and emerging evidence, Levy links the extinction of ancient giants to modern efforts aimed at preserving today’s wildlife.
