Wie Storm Zaait by T. Coraghessan Boyle

Set on California’s Channel Islands, the novel follows a bitter, escalating battle over the ecological restoration of isolated islands — conservationists determined to eradicate invasive pigs and rodents to save native species collide with animal-rights activists and island residents, leading to moral dilemmas, sabotage, and tragic consequences; through sharp, darkly comic prose it explores the complexity of environmental stewardship, ideology, and the unpredictable human costs of trying to fix nature.
