Natural Connection

A truly original journey to the root of our collective problems that offers new hope for how to solve them. Reading it is a balm. * Afua Hirsch *Urgent, profound and compassionate… Natural Connection brings us to imagine our relations with nature otherwise. Wisely, patiently, it opens and holds space in which radically rooted change might flourish. * Robert Macfarlane *Joycelyn Longdon’s work is always rigorously researched, justice-centred and transformative. * Mikaela Loach *Joycelyn Longdon is an urgent and desperately needed new voice. This is a wonderful book. * Katherine May *Joycelyn Longdon’s Natural Connection asks us to rededicate ourselves to the fight against climate change, and to understand environmental action in its proper, global context. Her fascinating case studies and thought-provoking interviews challenge us to look at climate change anew, and come back to the fight reenergised. * Cal Flyn *Wise and honest, Natural Connection reminds us of the vital truth of environmental breakdown – that biodiversity loss and the climate emergency are intimately tied to colonialism and capitalism. Yet the book does so much more, too. It guides us into ways of being that offer hope and healing. * James Canton *Natural Connection…[is] far-reaching, ambitious and deliberately open-ended… [Longdon’s] willingness to see through boundaries is deeply refreshing * Resurgence & Ecologist *
