Absolutely delighted that my book THE LIE OF THE LAND has won the Wainwright Prize for Conservation Writing!

This week, one of the book’s recommendations, a ban on moorland burning, became a reality. Next, we need a Nature Bill for England…

It's five years since the UK government vowed to protect 30% of our land and seas by 2030, and progress has been dismal. So-called protected areas are spoiled by sewage, industrial contamination and destructive development – pushing wildlife into freefall. www.the-independent.com/climate-chan...

“Air pollution makes people more susceptible to respiratory infections and other illnesses and it can have a significant impact on those living with allergies”.

Air pollution inside schools can be 2-5 x or even 100 times worse than outdoors.
