In her new book, 'Yosemite Wildlife: The Wonder of Animal Life in California’s Sierra Nevada,' Beth Pratt explores the lives of over 150 species that inhabit Yosemite National Park. Drawing from her extensive experience observing wildlife, Pratt combines scientific insights with personal anecdotes to create a narrative that highlights the fragility of these creatures in the face of climate change and habitat loss. The book is designed to engage readers, encouraging them to connect with the animals and their stories. Pratt's work not only serves as a tribute to the park's biodiversity but also aims to raise awareness about the urgent need for wildlife conservation. Proceeds from the book will benefit the Yosemite Conservancy, further supporting the park's preservation efforts. Through her observations, Pratt emphasizes the resilience of wildlife while also shedding light on the threats they face, urging readers to recognize their role in protecting these ecosystems.
