“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
