About the Cover
King penguins are one of the astonishing and exquisitely adapted species that inhabit our world. They are also among the many species urgently threatened by human activities, Climate change is expected to shift critical feeding areas far from breeding colonies, and rising seas will flood nesting areas; commercial fisheries capture a rising share of the marine food web to support fish farms far away; plastic pollution is growing in the world's marine environments. At the same time, hope for these and other species can be found in global policies and growing cooperation to protect marine reserves, to monitor fisheries, and to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding interconnections in environmental systems is critical to protecting the extraordinary diversity of life around us, and to protecting the ecosystem services on which we also depend. Environmental science helps you explore these interconnections and make sense of this amazing complexity, and the ways survival of these living systems is tied to the well-being of our own communities. Enjoy the journey.
