PYNE, Lydia
Endlings. Fables for the Anthropocene

An endling is the last known individual of a species; when that individual dies, the species becomes extinct. Opening up thoughtful discussions of species concepts—asking how species start and how (and why) they end—Lydia Pyne shows that endlings have the power to shape how we think about grief, mourning, and loss amid the world’s sixth mass extinction.
