A review by ahalsnad
The Puma Years by Laura Coleman
4.0
The plight of the amazon forest and its inhabitants is depressing, esp. when one accounts for the pace of destruction in the last 15-20 years. The problem with conserving wildlife is that it isn't sufficient to protect the species from going extinct; it is more important that the animals live in the wild and learn to be independent of human support, with the knowledge accumulated over generations intact.
The book's content is informative; about the condition of amazon, the climate change, the mental state of the rescued animals, and the toll on the volunteers taking care of these animals. After reading the book and seeing the pictures at the end, it is apparent that one is inevitably bound to fall in love with the animals in the Parque.
The author's love and passion for the animals and jungle are palpable. My only issue was that parts of the book felt like a stretch as the content sounded more poetic than necessary or with too long a description that the main idea slips.
