Our resident nature expert Katrina has been back out into the wild with her book again. This month, she’s been reading Sophie Pavelle’s Forget Me Not. Here’s what she had to say…
Sophie’s appreciation of both the joys and concerns of the environmental crisis makes this an uplifting read. Her humour creates a tone which sneaks in important and sobering information about the wildlife and habitats she visits. Travelling with as low a carbon impact as she can, Sophie goes from the south coast all the way to Orkney to discover ten UK species impacted by climate change.
The impact of renewable energy efforts, conservation projects, replanting and rewilding are all more complex than they first appear. Rather than inspiring fear, her journey inspires hope for these underdog species.
