Just 1% of the population own half of England, and are paid billions of pounds of public money to be good stewards. But what happens when they don’t care for it? The environmentalist and writer explains how communities are fighting back: the river guardians, small farmers and trespassing activists restoring our lost wildlife. Full of rage and hope, he offers a bold vision for our nation’s wild places, and how we can treat them with the awe and attention they deserve. Guy is a double Sunday Times bestseller and winner of the Wainwright Prize for Conservation. He lives in Devon.
