Offers many reasons for hope, alongside practical advice for the reader.
Highly entertaining read with a personal touch.
In this informed, incisive and passionate commentary analyses what is wrong with certain ways we do wildlife conservation but explores some of its many successes too.
Praise For Reflections
If I were ‘king for a day’ Avery would be instantly installed as the benign dictator of conservation in the UK. If you love wildlife, read this, think about this, and act upon this.
Chris Packham, broadcaster and author of Back to Nature
Reflections is a work of distilled campaigning wisdom, told with the irrepressible optimism of a passionate advocate for nature who’s spent decades working tirelessly for wildlife.
Guy Shrubsole, author of The Lost Rainforests of Britain and Who Owns England?
A clarion call for more nature in Britain and how we can get it. Wise, knowledgeable, provocative and good humoured – Mark Avery is a national treasure.
Patrick Barkham, author of Wild Grreen Wonders and co-author of Wild Isles
Mark Avery has written a love letter to Nature. Yes it is well written and academically sound and all that you’d expect from a person of his track record, but the real pleasure of the book is that under all that patina of propriety and science you feel a Mr Darcy launching himself into the lake because nothing is more important to him than capturing our hearts with his passion. A real triumph.
Sir Tim Smit, Co-founder and Vice Chairman of the Eden Project
