How should we restore nature and species, and why does it matter? What
is lost when we choose not to engage in restoration of the natural
world? And which parts of ourselves might we also lose if we choose
not to help restore and renew the natural world before it's too late?
In this collection, Karen Lloyd explores abundance and loss in the
natural world, relating compelling stories of restoration, renewal and
repair, describing how those working on the front lines of
conservation are challenging the inevitability of biodiversity loss,
as well as navigating her own explorations of the meaning of abundance
in the Anthropocene. 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. Yet,
elsewhere, many other species are being allowed to disappear forever.
To understand why, she examines how humans have chosen to entangle
themselves in nature and considers the ways we perceive the natural
world. A book about ways of seeing, as Lloyd explores attitudes
towards meaningful restoration, she weaves her insightful and joyous
narrative through a diverse range of inspiring landscapes, from
Romania's Carpathian mountains and the Hungarian Steppe to
Perthshire's rivers and the dune forests of the Netherlands.
