Nature’s Ghosts: The World We Lost and How to Bring it Back The World We Lost and How to Bring it Back

It's Halloween, so here's my annual reminder that I wrote a book and it has the word GHOSTS in the title.

Given that I probably won't be on social media again till the new year, I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has read NATURE'S GHOSTS. I still can't quite believe that I published a book – and that people actually liked it! Definitely a highlight of 2024.

Here it is: the last @inkcapjournal.bsky.social digest of 2024. We are now taking two weeks off over Christmas. Thanks to everyone who has read & supported our work over the last 12 months. We have a shoestring budget, and couldn't do it without you!

Planning Policy & Star Wars Woodland The latest news on nature and conservation in Britain.

Just about managed to cobble this week's digest together, despite being ill and exhausted. Tune in for planning policy, Star Wars and sea eagles. If anyone needs me, I'll be sitting on the sofa, nibbling lebkuchen & feeling sorry for myself.

Over the moon to see NATURE'S GHOSTS on this list! I always found palaeoecology to be as fascinating as aliens, dreams and death, but very pleased to discover others think so, too.
