Description

As humanity sits at an existential crossroads, this book introduces the need to build a nature-positive future to secure the functioning and stability of Earth systems essential to the survival and wellbeing of present and future human generations as well as the rest of Earth's amazing diversity of life.

Alongside the change in climate, a more silent but equally terrifying crisis is unfolding: the loss of nature and biodiversity. These twin crises are in fact interconnected. After decades of ignoring our impacts on the natural world, we are beginning to realise that nature conservation is a security issue for humanity, and an imperative for intersectional and intergenerational justice. For these reasons, we must embrace a transition from a nature-negative to a nature-positive society, one that ensures human development and addresses today’s inequality, while conserving, restoring and sustainably benefiting from nature's resources and services. A Nature Positive future is one with more nature than today: more forests, more fish, more pollinators, more soil biodiversity, with benefits for the Planet and for us. In this book we define what becoming Nature Positive means from a variety of perspectives, what it takes to deliver it and why it is possible and, most importantly, necessary.

This book is essential reading for those concerned with conserving nature and securing a safe future for humanity in the face of climate breakdown, biodiversity loss, and ecological collapse. The future can be bright. The choice is ours.

Critic Reviews

“The authors have written a fascinating and necessary book, tackling the urgency of defining critical steps and actions needed to protect our nature and ecosystems. They do so by proposing practical nature-based solutions and inviting a sense of collective urgency. This is a book that every nature lover and anyone committed to a sustainable future should read.” Iván Duque Márquez, Former President of Colombia

“Never before have the consequences of nature’s decline been more obvious and the need for change more urgent; never again will there be a better time to protect and restore what remains of the living systems that make our existence possible. Bravo to the authors for clearly articulating in Becoming Nature Positive how everyone, everywhere, can be a part of the transition from steadily losing the natural systems that underpin our existence, and tip toward treating nature as if our lives depend on it – because they do.” Sylvia Earle, Oceanographer and Founder of Mission Blue
