Requests:  1 Summary:  As a graduate student exploring the rain forests of Australia, Lowman sewed a harness from an old seat belt, gathered hundreds of feet of rope, and found a tool belt for her pencils and rulers. Up she went, into the trees, in order to be a better monitor. Over the years she planned one of the first treetop walkways, and helped create more of these bridges through the eighth continent all over the world. Here she launches us into the life and work of an ecologist and conservationist, and offers hope, specific plans, and recommendations for actions that will make an immediate and lasting impact against climate change. -- adapted from jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 581.7092 Lowman Lo Checked out 05/04/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 581.7092 Lowman Lo Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 581.7092 Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Lowman Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 581.7092 Lowman Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
