We love the cover too! That’s an anonymous European red deer being transported from the Southern Alps of New Zealand by helicopter for the venison industry, c. 1970s. The photographer, Bryan Bassett-Smith has lots of harrowing stories involving tranquilizers, deer, helicopters

Sharing some praise ☺️ “An essential and timely intervention. The authors demonstrate how global processes have always been more-than-human events and, by centering animals, they offer exciting, cutting-edge vantages on crucial global histories.”—Daniel Vandersommers

✨Globalizing Wildlife✨: A call to reconceptualize globalization and wildlife through their entanglements. The volume presents a range of geographically- and species-diverse case studies spanning from the 1870s to the present day to show that globalizing wildlife is far from a homogenous process.

Airports offer snowy owls vast tundra-like habitats similar to up north. While most airports shoot them (there’s been a few avian caused plane crashes worldwide), at Logan airport one man has been capturing and relocating owls since 1981.
