In an era of urgent ecological challenge, this timely book reveals the places that people are coming together to bring species and habitats back from the edge of extinction, as well as looking at places where the environmental crisis is not being taken seriously and species are being allowed to disappear forever. To understand why this is happening, Lloyd examines how humans have chosen to entangle themselves in nature and considers the ways we perceive the natural world.

Lloyd explores attitudes towards meaningful restoration, as she weaves her insightful and joyous narrative through a diverse range of inspiring landscapes.
