Benjamin von Brackel is one of the most renowned environmental journalists in Germany. He specializes in the consequences of climate change, such as extreme weather events and climate effects on biodiversity. Benjamin also works as the vice editor-in-chief for Klimareporter , the leading German online magazine on climate change, which he also cofounded; and he was awarded the German Environmental Media Prize in 2016. He lives in Berlin.
Brackel examines question[s] that have arisen from the massive migrations spurred by global warming. The book discusses the research into how ecosystems might change as old species leave and new ones arrive, as well as the substantial implications for human societies. --Scientific American Spurred by the rapid rise in temperature, the world's species are racing north to the poles and scrambling mountains to the summit--and they're running out of room and out of time. This book, filled with powerful reporting, documents that epic and tragic migration, and offers at least a few ways to slow the collapse and save some of the world we were born into. --Bill McKibben, author of The Flag, The Cross, and the Station Wagon A solid, memorable portrait of nature on the move. --Publishers Weekly In hard truths with hints of hope, Nowhere Left to Go shows us how climate change is altering life as we know it. Engaging, elegant, and a thoroughly enjoyable read. --Camille Parmesan, coordinating lead author of the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report In Nowhere Left to Go, Benjamin von Brackel brings to life the reality of how climate change is affecting the biological world. It's a fascinating read, and particularly pertinent for anyone who is concerned about the future of biodiversity. --Professor Chris D. Thomas, author of Inheritors of the Earth, and director of the Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene Biodiversity Written like a thriller, this book is full of surprising observations of how plants and animals are already responding to climate change. I have seldom read such a successful combination of flawless research and linguistic dexterity. --Wolfgang Kiessling, lead author of the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report This lively book chronicles the challenges conservationists face to chart a new future where species can adapt and cope. Humanity needs to do an environmental U-turn if we are to save the Earth's biota and ourselves. --Eric Dinerstein, Director of Biodiversity and Wildlife Solutions at RESOLVE and author of What Elephants Know
