Forget Me Not: Finding the forgotten species of climate-change Britain
Sophie Pavelle
Published by Bloomsbury 2022
Hardback
Join Sophie Pavelle on a low-carbon journey around Britain in search of ten animals and habitats threatened by climate change in the 21st century. Like many of her generation, Sophie Pavelle is determined to demand action on climate change, and in her thought-provoking first book, she describes the trips she took to see ten rare native species that could disappear by 2050 and be forgotten by the end of the century if their habitats continue to decline. Sophie challenged herself to find them the low-carbon way, travelling the length of Britain on foot, by bicycle, in an electric car, by kayak, on ferries and in a lot of trains. From Bodmin Moor to the Orkney Islands, Sophie encountered species on the frontline of climate change in Britain. Forget Me Not is a clarion call: we all need to play a part in tackling this most existential of threats. Sophie shows us we can dare to hope. Journey with her, and she may even inspire you to take action for nature and head out on your own low-carbon adventure.
