Books about conservation

152 books in our catalogue · showing 145–152

Books about protecting the natural world: how wildlife, habitats and landscapes are being lost and restored, and the people working to change that. The shelf runs from accessible nature writing and field accounts to histories of conservation, books on climate and the countryside, and practical titles on looking after land and wildlife.

Many are written by people who spend long periods outdoors, so they read as good travel and nature writing as well as argument. For the idea of letting nature recover, see Rewilding; for books rooted in one kind of country, start with Landscape, Rivers or Islands, or browse Books by place.
