Publisher's Synopsis
We are on the brink of environmental catastrophe. Cutting emissions is essential but won't be enough. We also need to harness the power of nature, recognising that the natural world is not only priceless, but has measurable economic value. Restoring biodiversity aided by technological and financial innovation will unlock environmental protections and economic benefits. The Case for Nature sets out with powerful clarity how protecting nature is both the right thing to do, and in our economic interests; how, taking a cue from a range of indigenous worldviews, nature must be woven into our modern societies, not set apart. Siddarth Shrikanth introduces the pioneers of the nature-positive revolution, and gives us the tools to understand how we can work with, not against, our living planet. "Siddarth Shrikanth provides clear and tangible examples of how doing so will not only safeguard humanity's future, but fuel economic growth and prosperity." - Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States, Chairman of Generation "Eloquent, informed and inspiring: a must-read for all those who care about the planet and want to know how to save the environment that all species - including our own - depend on." - Isabella Tree, bestselling author of Wilding "The Case for Nature is a triumph and a vital resource as we move towards a world in which the intrinsic value of healthy, vibrant nature is recognised in all the decisions we take." - Ben Goldsmith, environmentalist and financier
