Klappentext

This book tells the story of how our relationship with nature got broken, why it matters and how to fix it. There is growing recognition that the root cause of wildlife loss and the warming climate is people's disconnection from nature, yet solutions focus on technical fixes. Reconnection considers the problems scientifically.
