The Spirit of the Wetlands – Julian Hoffman

Julian Hoffman lives in a mountain village beside the Prespa lakes
in northwestern Greece. He is the author of The Small Heart of
Things and Irreplaceable: The Fight to Save Our Wild Places. In
this piece, Julian witnesses the drastic decline of Dalmatian
pelicans nesting on the Prespa lakes as they succumb to the recent
outbreak of avian influenza. As the wetlands fall strangely quiet,
he senses the porous boundaries between our health and that of the
ecologies we inhabit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
