Interesting piece
here in
The Guardian, as much for the science as the poetry, but
Bill McKibben's point is a good one. he says: "This science is uncontroversial. But science alone can't make change, because it appeals only to the hemisphere of the brain that values logic and reason. We're also creatures of emotion, intuition, spark – which is perhaps why we should mount more poetry expeditions, put more musicians on dying reefs, make sure that novelists can feel the licking heat of wildfire."

I very much enjoyed Overstory by Richard Powers, which at lest touches on it, conservation, and activism.
