Nature is the Answer

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Recognize and reduce eco-anxiety with the help of award-winning conservationist, broadcaster, and writer Chris Packham

Understand eco-anxiety, build resilience, and make sure your demands for the future are heard with this guide to facing green grief.

Chris Packham experiences eco-anxiety often. Climate breakdown can feel overwhelming and cause many worries about the future. But that doesn't mean the wild world can't be an amazing place. In fact, if eco-anxiety is caused by the state of nature, then perhaps the state of nature has answers to our eco-anxiety.

This book confronts climate breakdown, normalises eco-anxiety, and trumpets advocacy - while keeping the joy of nature at the forefront of your mind. Practical, science-backed tips and tricks to lessen green grief - such as forest bathing - are mixed in with key bits of climate information and perspectives from young people and experts from around the world. There is also advice on activism (small-scale and large-scale), navigating social media, and discerning fake news.

Personal anecdotes from Chris' many years working as naturalist will be interspersed throughout, emphasising that nature can still be a joyous place - and that it still holds many answers to the biggest personal and global problems we face. Because, as Chris has found throughout his career, Nature is the Answer.
