By Chad Yelton

Cincinnati, OH - One of the world’s most renowned scientists, and best-selling author Jane Goodall – along with Cincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard and co-author Gail Hudson – reveal fascinating survival stories about formerly endangered species whose populations are now recovering in their NEW book, Hope for Animals and Their World. The book will be released Wednesday, September 2.

Thane Maynard, author of thirteen books and host of National Public Radio’s daily show, The 90-Second Naturalist, will be signing the new book at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Rookwood Pavilion on Saturday, September 19 at 11:00 a.m.

WHAT: Hope for Animals and Their World portrays that while animal species are becoming extinct on every continent and we are confronted with bad news about the environment nearly every day, conservation success stories abound. Jane Goodall brings us inspiring news about the future of the animal kingdom. Interweaving her own first-hand experiences in the field with the compelling research of premier scientists, Goodall illuminates the heroic efforts of dedicated environmentalists and the truly critical need to protect the habitats of these beloved species. Thane Maynard contributes success stories in his “Field Notes” sections featuring the heroic efforts of conservationists working to protect critically endangered species such as the Sumatran rhinoceros, cotton-top tamarin, Przewalski’s horse, and gray wolf.

At once a celebration of the animal kingdom and a passionate call to arms, Hope for Animals and Their World presents an uplifting, hopeful message for the future of animal-human coexistence.
