Over 90% of species that ever lived are now extinct and we stand at the verge of a sixth mass extinction event.

In Vanished Sadiah Qureshi examines the history of extinction as a scientific idea, a legacy of Empire and a political choice. It offers an eye-opening insight into the ways that ideas about plant and animal extinction have been too easily applied to humankind through hierarchies of value about whose lives and futures matter.

Vanished offers readers a fascinating insight into extinction, whilst empowering its readers to fight for new ways to preserve life on earth and for policies that do not perpetuate injustice.
