Unnatural Habitat

"Praise for Unnatural Habitat: ""Unnatural Habitat puts an important spotlight on how L.A. is uniquely positioned to support unique and diverse flora and fauna. The fun and vivid descriptions of the ecological interactions and fascinating history behind L.A.'s biodiversity will inspire local residents to consider even the most human dominated neighborhoods as places to explore nature."" —Miguel Ordeñana, Wildlife Biologist at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Praise for The New Chimpanzee by Craig B. Stanford (Harvard, 2018): ""Stanford is a talented and fluent writer as well as an accomplished researcher."" —The Wall Street Journal Praise for Planet Without Apes by Craig B. Stanford (Belknap, 2014): ""Craig Stanford's book makes compelling reading. [The great apes] have helped us better understand our own behavior. Now it is our turn to help them, and when you read this book, you will realize that we MUST."" —Jane Goodall ""Stanford reveals a complex web of cultural, social, economic and biological issues that explain why this problem is so exceedingly difficult to solve."" ―The Washington Post ""In his wide-ranging call for action, Stanford lays out the critical threats, arguing that humanity’s closest cousins are viewed as savage ‘others’ and subjected to a genocidal urge last seen in the colonial era."" —Nature ""This is a timely call for effective action."" ―Publishers Weekly"
