Mama Poc Review

Among all the tales of commitment to a cause, personal loss, and bravery to face the world despite the heartbreaks it brings, Anne LaBastille's story of the decline and eventual extinction of the giant pied-billed grebe of Guatemala's Lake Atitlan is a winner. Beginning with the author's arrival at the lake in 1965, the memoir-cum natural history tells the saga of how the young naturalist came to fall in love with the most engaging of the country's water birds and its surroundings, and how against the odds of weather, earthquakes, and political turmoil, she and her Guatemalan cohorts documented the gradual erosion of the species's habitat over the subsequent two and a half decades. LaBastille weaves together the story of losing a species with that of losing a lover and friends, so that we feel her grief in both personal and professional domains. At the same time, she keeps enough distance so that we learn the facts of the case with its details of over-development and careless management of the lake's assets that contributed to the final loss of a species. Although we know the outcome of her story from page one, her suspenseful account leaves us hoping for a different ending right up until the last sentence. LaBastille blames no one cause, but her tale makes it clear that the the giant grebe's fate was not inevitable.
