Lucy Cooke

We live in a hectic world in which speed and stress are idealized. But this fast pace is not only exhausting us, but also our planet. Zoologist Lucy Cooke has a suggestion on how we can make our lives more relaxed and sustainable: We should take the sloth as our role model! Humans often ridicule the slow animal for its sluggishness. But their coziness and slow metabolism are the reasons why sloths have been living successfully on earth for over 60 million years. We should take inspiration from the way they recycle and save energy - Lucy Cooke explains in an entertaining way how we can discover the sloth within us.

Lucy Cooke studied zoology at Oxford and is now a correspondent for National Geographic and founder of the Sloth Appreciation Society. Her books have made her a New York Times bestselling author and her documentaries have won awards. With her YouTube videos about sloths and her Discovery Channel series Meet the Sloths, she inspires a large fan base worldwide.
