I was invited to contribute to the anthology Creature Needs: Writers Respond to the Science of Animal Conservation, edited by Christopher Kondrich, Lucy Spelman, and Susan Tacent. There’s an interesting method to this anthology: each writer was asked to respond to scientific research about a basic need of animal survival. The editors sent me an article about jaguars in the US, and I wrote a piece called “The Sublime Is a Foreign Species.” Creature Needs, a collaboration with the nonprofit Creature Conserve, is now available for preorder, and you can read more about it here.
