Includes a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales and an introduction
by Jane Goodall Richard St. Barbe Baker was an inspirational
visionary and pioneering environmentalist who is credited with
saving and planting billions of trees. He saved lives, too, through
his ceaseless global campaign to raise the alarm about
deforestation and desertification and by finding effective,
culturally sensitive ways for people to contribute to a more
peaceful and greener world. He was also an Edwardian eccentric
whose obsession with trees caused him to neglect his family; the
devout son of an evangelical preacher who became a New Age hero; an
unapologetic colonial officer fired for defending indigenous
Africans; a forester who rarely had a steady income; a failed
entrepreneur and inventor; a proud soldier and peace activist; a
brilliant writer, speaker, and raconteur who made wild claims about
the effectiveness of his conservation efforts. His encounters with
historical figures like FDR, Nehru, and George Bernard Shaw are
eye-popping, as were his accomplishments.
