Description

From the rainforests of Costa Rica to the Balkans and Scotland, Karen Lloyd explores the hidden life of habitats and species including sloths, the rockpool shrimp and the worlds only truly wild horse. She studies the biodiversity of urban wildflower meadows and the contested spaces of landscape recovery, including in the Lake District where she lives, assessing our human impact on the lives of creatures whose survival is deeply intertwined with our own. In an era marked by escalating environmental crisis, this luminous collection challenges us to understand that preserving our planet demands recognising the intrinsic rights of our fellow species; that social and environmental justice are inseverable.

Lloyds essays blend lyrical observation with urgency and philosophical depth, arguing for new directions for conservation. This collection is a rallying call a celebration of renewal and resilience for all who care about Earths future.
