    Reflections

     MARK AVERY

    In this informed, incisive and passionate commentary on the state of nature and conservation Mark reflects on our relationship with wildlife around us. His book “Reflections” analyses what is wrong with certain ways we do wildlife conservation but explores some of its successes too. How can we do better to restore wildlife to everybody’s lives. We know how to conserve species and habitats – it’s time to roll out conservation measures on a much bigger scale. Reflections sets out what is needed and what part the state, environmental charities and we as individuals can play in making that happen.
     
    Dr Mark Avery is a senior UK conservationist with nearly four decades experience of giving wildlife a better future. He worked for the RSPB for 25 years before going freelance in 2011. He co-founded the campaigning organisation Wild Justice with Chris Packham and Ruth Tingay in 2011 and was recently chair of the World Land Trust.
