Description
Britain's natural capital is often overlooked, yet it provides us with essential services such as clean water and food. Tony Juniper explores how our reliance on nature for these necessities can sometimes be detrimental to the economy. Juniper reveals that intensive farming, drainage of bogs, clearing forests, and altering rivers have been used to meet our needs, but at what cost? He shares personal accounts and inspiring examples of how some of this damage is being repaired, offering a different perspective on Britain's relationship with nature. Through his analysis, Juniper shows that the value of nature goes beyond its economic benefits, highlighting the importance of preserving natural systems for future generations.
