From the Steller sea lion to the ivory-billed woodpecker, from the steelhead trout to the red wolf, this landmark act has worked to preserve the wild beauty that surrounds and sustains us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eA Wild Promise\u003c\/em\u003e, acclaimed artist Allen Crawford beautifully illustrates over eighty animals that embody the spirit, legacy, and commitment of the Endangered Species Act. In his trademark inventive style, Crawford's full-color illustrations and illuminated text create a vibrant tapestry of our nation's habitats--oceans, mountains, deserts, wetlands, prairies, and forests--and the varied species that call these places home. With a powerful and moving introduction by award-winning writer and conservationist Terry Tempest Williams, \u003cem\u003eA Wild Promise\u003c\/em\u003e is critically urgent and inspirational, lending voice and spirit to all endangered species. A visually delightful, one-of-a-kind work, \u003cem\u003eA Wild Promise\u003c\/em\u003e is a celebration of conservation, commitment, and compassion--a clarion call to continue to embrace, engage, and act in ways that preserve and protect our living world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllen Crawford\u003c\/b\u003e is the illustrator of \u003ci\u003eWhitman Illuminated: Song of Myself.\u003c\/i\u003e He and his wife, Susan, are proprietors of the design\/illustration studio Plankton Art Co.
