About this listen

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.

inspiring and helpful

I found this a very enjoyable listen. I liked that Avery was quite direct about what would (and what wouldn’t) help uk wildlife.

A wonderful calm clear view of UK conservation

it explains what has happened, why and what we need in the future. It is rational read on what can be an emotive subject. I felt much more informed feeling more informed and even changing some of my views of issues. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a bigger picture of UK conservation.
