Praise for No More Endlings
"Better than any book I know, No More Endlings shows that there are nationals in various countries that do fine research and are devoted to conservation. The book's lively and compelling biographies of rare species around the world by the people who study them and are devoted to their future reveal the joys of exploration and discovery. Whether describing dragonflies, Malagasy rainbow frogs, whooping cranes, or lions, each account celebrates the natural world and encourages us to protect it."—GEORGE B. SCHALLER, Panthera and Wildlife Conservation Society & author of The Last Panda and Tibet Wild
"No More Endlings shares the stories of some real endangered species heroes. It helps us consider our relation to animals and the natural world, introducing a variety of perspectives in an approachable way. Through its mixture of adventure, heart-warming moments, and science, No More Endlings should encourage us all to action."—DR. RUSSELL A. MITTERMEIER, Primatologist, herpetologist, biological anthropologist and president, Conservation International

MITTERMEIER, Primatologist, herpetologist, biological anthropologist and president, Conservation International
"No More Endlings draws us into the deeply passionate and personal narratives of those trying to understand, protect, and save some of the most endangered species on the planet. Creatively weaving together the uniqueness of each species with our own human connection to the natural world, No More Endlings is a journey that engages, teaches, and shows us why we must truly protect what we love."—JEAN-MICHEL COUSTEAU, Founder, Ocean Futures Society
"Above all No More Endlings is a book of wonder (about amazing species with which we share this planet) and of hope – where a single individual has intervened on behalf of a declining species. This is a book for everyone: to be enjoyed and be inspired by daily. Delightful and uplifting."—THOMAS E. LOVEJOY, National Geographic Fellow, Professor of environmental science and policy, George Mason University
"Animals go extinct all the time. Allison's animals are examples of just what we lose everyday on our wonderful planet. Animals that will never return. This book asks what we can do and how we can change in the future. Read it. Be the change."—DOMINIC MONAGHAN, Producer, actor and host, BBC America's Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan
"This book combines conservation, information and passion. As a source of reference material it will, I am sure, be turned to by people all over the world wanting to find out more about some of our most threatened and iconic species, but in doing so, readers will also be inspired by the conservation stories of individuals who have, in many cases, dedicated their lives to the protection and, indeed, saving of species. It is personal and it is important and we would all do well to pay attention."—WILL TRAVERS, OBE, President, Born Free Foundation
"No More Endlings is a compelling portrayal about a select group of endangered species, but more than that, it is a journey of discovery. It explores the uniqueness of each species, our personal connection with the natural world, and something beyond what the facts can teach, something that cannot quite be understood, but will be missed if it is lost forever."—RHETT BUTLER, Writer, photographer, and president, Mongabay.com
"These dispatches from the frontline of conservation introduce some amazing animals but also the real-life heroes trying to save them. Their stories, filled with adventure, science and humour are enough to inspire us all into action."—LUCY COOKE, Author, TV presenter & National Geographic Explorer
"From a barefoot banded gecko seeker in San Diego who spent twelve years between single finds, to a snow leopard researcher in Mongolia who augmented pings from a radio collar with learning how to think like one of the secretive cats, Allison Hegan introduces us to the people who have an affinity for those we are on the verge of losing forever. Hornbills and horseshoe crabs, spirit bears and sharks, trees and toads — luckily these life-forms all have their human champions. The stories of how these advocates bonded to some of the world’s most amazing “others” will touch you, too, and fire your determination to work for no more endlings, right along with them."—CANDICE GAUKEL ANDREWS, author of Travel Wild Wisconsin
