Reconnection

Fixing our Broken Relationship with Nature

MILES

RICHARDSON

Explores our hidden links with nature through the new science of nature connectedness.

Challenges flawed thinking about how to connect with nature. Offers simple, practical, positive steps for how we can all work towards a better world.

This book tells the story of how our relationship with nature got broken, why it matters and how to fix it. There is growing recognition that the root cause of wildlife loss and the warming climate is people’s disconnection from nature, yet solutions focus on technical fixes. Reconnection considers the problems scientifically.

PRAISE FOR RECONNECTION

Reconnection is a joy to read! It's a thought-provoking, inspiring book which highlights the ever increasing need to step outside and re-embrace the natural world into our lives.

Megan McCubbin, zoologist, conservationist and TV presenter

Reconnection is an important book that moved me, made me think and, made me smile.

Sir Tim Smit, Co-founder and Vice Chairman of the Eden Project

Miles Richardson expertly balances threat with hope in this timely and brilliant book. A must-read for anyone who values the natural world and our connection to it.

Hilary McGrady, Director General at the National Trust

Fascinating, poignant and hopeful. Reconnection should be mandatory reading for us all.

Dr. Mya-Rose Craig, author of Birdgirl
