About this audiobook
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. The 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 audiobook will confront the climate breakdown, normalise eco-anxiety, and trumpet 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.
Chris Packham is a top TV naturalist and an award-winning conservationist, photographer, and author. As a young scientist, he researched kestrels, shrews, and badgers, and studied zoology at Southampton University. His career began with the award-winning Really Wild Show for the BBC, and he is now co-presenter of the BBC's Springwatch, Autumnwatch, and Winterwatch. His 2017 memoir Fingers in the Sparkle Jar was a no.1 Sunday Times bestseller.
