Author Talk: Ben Goldfarb, Author of "Crossings" (Virtual)

Join us for a virtual discussion with environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb, author of Crossings. Roads, those most ubiquitous features of human civilization, are the subject of this perspective book. Roads kill more creatures than any other “environmental ill”; they also bisect migration routes, pollute with noise, and help to facilitate deforestation. Road ecology—a specialty that Goldfarb lauds as “a field whose radical premise asserted that it was possible to perceive our built world through nonhuman eyes”—seeks to understand these dynamics and to propose solutions that actively consider animal lives. Through encounters with practitioners, including a veterinarian who helps track the movements of anteaters across Brazilian highways, Goldfarb charts a path toward a less destructive future.
