Wunderwerk Natur – How we preserve our planet and save ourselves

A book that provides the much-needed change of perspective to counteract the destruction of nature with motivation, courage, and energy.

Nature is a masterpiece—and at the same time seriously threatened. Climate change, exploitation of natural resources, vanishing habitats, and species extinction are disrupting the balance of the Earth system and its ecosystems. What does this mean for our future—and how can we respond?

Wunderwerk Natur (Wonderwork Nature) is the logical continuation of Wunderwerk Erde (Wonderwork Earth) and begins precisely where human intervention in the Earth’s system comes into play. In three chapters – Recognizing, Understanding, and Acting – this book impressively demonstrates why protecting our natural environment is essential for our survival, how deeply everything is interconnected, and what paths lead to a sustainable future.

With easy-to-understand knowledge from geoscience and climate research, personal experiences, and impressive photographs, Dr. Christian Klepp takes us to pristine locations in Iceland, the Rocky Mountains, and New Zealand. The photographs show nature in moments and places of great beauty—often captured only after years of patient waiting. They reveal what we are in danger of losing—and why it is worth taking action.

Earth does not need us. But we depend on our planet– in all its living diversity. This book is an invitation to rediscover our appreciation for nature, to recognize its fragility, and to embark on a new path with courage, love, and respect.
