Where \u003cem\u003eLife on Earth\u003c\/em\u003e had told the story of evolution across geological time, \u003cem\u003eThe Living Planet\u003c\/em\u003e attended to the world as it exists now: the extraordinary range of environments that life has colonised, and the equally extraordinary adaptations that allow organisms to survive in each of them. Published five years before the word \"biodiversity\" had entered common use, and a decade before climate change had become a subject of mainstream concern, the series and its companion volume were among the first works of popular natural history to situate the natural world explicitly within a framework of human responsibility.
