Our planet is facing not one but two crises.

In a world where carbon emissions and climate financing are rightly rising up the agenda, there exists another catastrophe that is often overlooked but just as dire-the global collapse of our ecosystems. Siddarth Shrikanth's The Case for Nature presents a compelling vision for tackling this other crisis by rethinking our relationship with nature in economic, social and even personal terms.

Shrikanth argues that we can create flourishing economies and societies by preserving and restoring our planet's 'natural capital' and introduces the pioneers of this nature-positive revolution with vivid examples from across the world. But he also calls on readers to reflect on the roots of this crisis, drawing upon indigenous world views to show that nature must be woven into our modern societies, not set apart.

By offering a hopeful yet deeply pragmatic perspective on how we can exist in harmony with our living planet, The Case for Nature is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand how nature can help us forge a more sustainable future and what they can do to contribute to this vision.

 
 

Review

In the face of both the climate crisis and our planet's biodiversity crisis, we must rethink our relationship to nature and redouble our efforts to protect and conserve our precious ecosystems. In The Case for Nature, 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, 45th Vice President of the United States

Fascinating, inspiring and deeply informed, The Case for Nature offers a radically optimistic yet eminently practical new path towards tackling the twin crises of climate and biodiversity. Siddarth Shrikanth shows how we can better understand and protect nature, and press technology, innovation and investment into the service of saving our planet and boosting our well-being. Essential reading - Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner on Human Rights and author of Climate Justice
