What does it mean to be a part of-rather than apart from-nature?
This book is about how we interact with wildlife and the ways in
which this can make our lives richer and more fulfilling. But it
also explores the conflicts and contradictions inevitable in a
world that is now so completely dominated by our own species.
Interest in wildlife and wild places, and their profound effects on
human wellbeing, have increased sharply as we face up to the
ongoing biodiversity extinction crisis and reassess our priorities
following a global pandemic. Ian Carter, lifelong naturalist and a
former bird specialist at Natural England, sets out to uncover the
intricacies of the relationship between humans and nature. In a
direct, down-to-earth style he explains some of the key practical,
ethical and philosophical problems we must navigate as we seek to
reconnect with nature. This wide-ranging and infectiously personal
account does not shy away from controversial subjects-such as how
we handle invasive species, reintroductions, culling or dog
ownership-and reveals in stark terms that properly addressing our
connection to the natural world is an imperative, not a luxury.
Short, pithy chapters make this book ideal for dipping into.
Meanwhile, it builds into a compelling whole as the story moves
from considering the wildlife close to home through to conflicts
and, finally, the joy and sense of escape that can be had in the
wildest corners of our landscapes, where there is still so much to
discover.
