Description
The countryside is undergoing significant changes. Fifty years of conservation efforts in the UK are facing new economic pressures that are transforming the landscape. This revised edition of Future Nature tackles these challenges head-on, exploring the role of conservation in shaping our relationship with nature. Bill Adams examines the scientific, cultural and economic significance of conservation, arguing that it must extend beyond protected areas to encompass the entire countryside. He discusses concepts such as biodiversity and sustainability, highlighting opportunities for growth and change. With a new introduction, postscript and foreword, this book offers a fundamental reassessment of conservation and its importance. Conservation holds the potential to create new spaces for nature, both in the landscape and in our lives and imaginations. This thought-provoking book provides a nuanced understanding of conservation's significance and how it can be achieved.
