Throughout the writing of this book, I read books and scientific articles and watched documentaries and videos. I visited national parks and even traveled to the UN to talk to program consultants for the Equator Initiative. The following are a few of the sources I used. I hope you take the time to read, watch, and learn some more about our wonderful world!
