Summary
Optimistic field notes from the new normal for nature.
One thing has become clear this year - we need nature more than ever. And although the natural world has never been more under pressure, there are still reasons to be hopeful.
Through personal stories, conservation breakthroughs and fascinating scientific discoveries, Back to Nature captures the essence of how we feel about the wildlife outside our windows. From the resurgence of storks in Britain to lesser horseshoe bats returning to the Isle of Man, to what we can do to encourage wildlife into our own spaces, whether that's a woodland, a garden, a balcony or our streets, it explores the wonder and the solace of nature and the ways in which we can connect with it.

Get involved
This is a fantastic book, with one main message - get involved. We all need to be part of the movement for change. As with most of these sorts of books, the people who read them are often already doing their bit. My message is to share it with those who are sitting back and doing nothing, or are burying their heads.

Required reading !
This is a beautifully written and narrated book with a real message for our times. Chris is ,as always, very honest in his assessment but also hopeful. Easy reading and listening which should be considered as a text for high schools as it covers science, ethics, politics and society to name a few curricular areas. Well done Chris and Megan .

An easy listening while out walking the dogs. Good information on conservation and the actions required to reverse the trend.

Call to action
An inspiring look at the state of nature in the UK. If we are to have any hope for the wildlife and the environment of our country then surely this is where we must begin. I suspect that a lot of people are going to be upset by this book because this pair of brilliant campaigners and activists have systematically and intrinsically laid out the blueprint for the restoration of nature here i he UK.
This book should shock us all into action.

Rattled through it!
Loved it, really insightful look at our relationship with nature, especially over the last year when so many of us have felt more grateful for it than ever.

A nature emergency in UK
I enjoyed the succinct arguments by authors. We need to wake up to save nature.

Depressing but should be read by everyone
The most depressing book I have listened to , but a book that should be read by everyone to highlight our own destruction. Particularly if you have children or grandchildren this is the book that should make you change and demand change.

Enjoyable, Insightful and Helpful
I enjoyed this book immensely and think that Chris and Megan work well together. There are lots of interesting insights and useful ideas. It’s poignant and sad in parts but necessary to remind us that the planet needs us. It’s inspired me again to focus on my goals and do my bit to protect our world.

Informative, passionate & in line with other data
I've read Wilding and Rebirding & others of that ilk, and this falls in line in terms of data, information and passion. 5* for sure.
Superb narration from both and fascinating science. Heartbreaking yet hopeful.
Highly recommended!
