'Barkham is an outstanding author.' - Chris Packham
'Wonder-filled... A treat. Patrick knows how to tell a good story, and that combination of kindness, wonder and good fortune that seems to be present in his own life shines through.' - Caught by the River
What is happening to nature? What are we as a species doing about it? What have we learned?
Wild Green Wonders paints a portrait of contemporary wildlife, bearing witness to the many changes imposed upon the planet and the challenges lying ahead for the future of nature.
