Description
In this collection of literary essays, Karen Lloyd explores abundance and loss in the natural world, relating compelling stories of restoration, renewal and repair, describing how those working on the front lines of conservation are challenging the inevitability of biodiversity loss, as well as navigating her own explorations of the meaning of abundance in the Anthropocene.
In an era of urgent ecological challenge, her timely book reveals the places that people are coming together to bring species and habitats back from the edge of extinction. Yet, elsewhere, many other species are being allowed to disappear forever. To understand why, she examines how humans have chosen to entangle themselves in nature and considers the ways we perceive the natural world.
A book about ways of seeing, as Lloyd explores attitudes towards meaningful restoration, she weaves her insightful and joyous narrative through a diverse range of inspiring landscapes, from Romania's Carpathian mountains and the Hungarian Steppe to Perthshire's rivers and the dune forests of the Netherlands.

Marian G, Reviewer
I cannot praise this book enough, it was a thoughtful, and considered collection of essays on the environment; but in many ways, it was much more than that. This is a book that made me stop and think about what we have lost in the last 50 years from the natural world.
The narrative conjurors up recollections of flora and fauna that once abundant are now scarce or lost. It was one of those books that makes you stop and read chapters again because punctuated through this chronicle that looks at the serious issues concerning the wellbeing of the planet and humanity, there are these wonderful pearls of hope, that make you smile and in turn give you a modicum of optimism that in the end humans just might do the right thing.
This was a great book I loved it from beginning to end, well done Karen Lloyd.
