Dan Flores is a historian and writer who writes about the natural and cultural history of North America. His books—including Coyote America, American Serengeti, and Wild New World, bring to life North America’s most iconic species and landscapes, weaving together science, folklore, and history. Dan’s work not only illuminates the past but also asks urgent questions about the future of conservation, rewilding, and our relationship with the land.
