In this informed, incisive and passionate commentary on the state
of nature and conservation, Mark Avery reflects on our relationship
with the wildlife around us. From the cats that pass through his
garden to the chronic decline of farmland wildlife, from the
Pasqueflowers he visits every spring to the proportion of national
income devoted to saving nature – everything is connected, and
everything is considered. This book analyses what is wrong with
certain ways we do wildlife conservation but explores some of its
many successes too. How can we do better to restore wildlife to
everybody’s lives? We know how to conserve species and habitats
– it’s time to roll out conservation measures on a much bigger
scale. This is a societal choice in which every nature lover can
play their part. Reflections sets out what is needed, and what part
the state, environmental charities and we as individuals can play
in making that happen. This highly personal work from a life
embedded in and dedicated to nature does not shy away from the
harsh realities we face, but its message, ultimately, is one of
hope.
