Recognize and reduce eco-anxiety with the help of award-winning conservationist, broadcaster, and writer Chris Packham

Understand eco-anxiety, build resilience, and make sure your demands for the future are heard with this guide to facing green grief.

Chris Packham experiences eco-anxiety often. Climate breakdown can feel overwhelming and cause many worries about the future. But that doesn't mean the wild world can't be an amazing place. In fact, if eco-anxiety is caused by the state of nature, then perhaps the state of nature has answers to our eco-anxiety.

This book confronts climate breakdown, normalises eco-anxiety, and trumpets advocacy - while keeping the joy of nature at the forefront of your mind. Practical, science-backed tips and tricks to lessen green grief - such as forest bathing - are mixed in with key bits of climate information and perspectives from young people and experts from around the world. There is also advice on activism (small-scale and large-scale), navigating social media, and discerning fake news.

Personal anecdotes from Chris' many years working as naturalist will be interspersed throughout, emphasising that nature can still be a joyous place - and that it still holds many answers to the biggest personal and global problems we face. Because, as Chris has found throughout his career, Nature is the Answer.

Reviews for Nature is the Answer: A Toolkit for Eco-Positivity

Nature Is The Answer bursts with ideas, solutions and love for the wondrous, fragile living world of which we are part. It reminds us that hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up. It shows us that the best answer to anxiety or despair is action — and that just because we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything. Read it and leap! -- Robert Macfarlane Nature often has the answers. The natural world is bursting with awe inspiring ideas, clever fixes and hopeful surprises. Let Chris help you turn any eco anxiety into positive eco action. Be curious. Be caring. Stay connected to the natural world. Make a difference. -- Michaela Strachan In Nature is the Answer, Chris Packham reframes eco-anxiety not as something to suppress, but as a signal to care and a starting point for connection. Blending science, compassion and practical action, this book gives children the tools to turn any worry they may have into resilience and meaningful action. It is both timely and deeply reassuring. Every school and family should have a copy. -- Dr Amir Khan It’s a brilliant book - a beacon of inspiration and hope about the otherwise terrifying threats to human existence. It promises to turn you from an eco-worrier to an eco-warrior and it does exactly that. “Nature is the Answer” IS the answer! -- Chris van Tulleken This book shows how even the smallest actions on your doorstep can make a difference to our natural world. It’s a powerful and optimistic toolkit for change. -- Kabir Kaul
