Join Sophie Pavelle on a low-carbon journey around Britain in search of ten animals and habitats threatened by climate change in the 21st century.

Forget-me-not – a beautiful flower and a plea from our islands’ wildlife. When climate change has driven dozens of our most charismatic species to extinction, will they be forgotten?

Like many of her generation, Sophie Pavelle is determined to demand action on climate change. In her hilarious and thought-provoking first book, she describes the trips she took to see ten rare native species: species that could disappear by 2050 and be forgotten by the end of the century if their habitats continue to decline.

Sophie challenged herself to find them the low-carbon way, travelling the length of Britain on foot, by bicycle, in an electric car, by kayak, on ferries and in a lot of trains. From Bodmin Moor to the Orkney Islands, Sophie encountered species on the frontline of climate change in Britain. Which are going to be seriously affected, and why? Could some bounce back from the brink? Or are we too late to save them?

Forget Me Not is a clarion call: we all need to play a part in tackling this most existential of threats. Everyone can see wildlife in the British Isles without contributing to its destruction. With joyful irreverence, Sophie shows us we can dare to hope. Journey with her, and she may even inspire you to take action for nature and head out on your own low-carbon adventure.©2022 Sophie Pavelle (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Environment Nature & Ecology Outdoors & Nature Science Conservation Funny Witty Inspiring Thought-Provoking Habitat

Passion for stopping and reversing the rot that is is enveloping the natural environment and that is now all so blindingly obvious but still so many remain in denial about.
Pride for the precious wildlife of the British Isles about which her narrative entertains and engages.
Prejudice for the ignorance, individual and corporate that just steam rollers on!
A young heart and a vitality that I know there is more to come from…… well done that girl 👌

Passion , Pride and Prejudice plus more than a little hope

Absolutely brilliant

I bought the actual book as a Christmas gift for my daughter, who loved it, but she took it back to uni before I could borrow it to read myself. It was therefore impatience which caused me to buy the audiobook as well. Very glad I did. How lovely to have such a passionate book, so full of personality (that of the wildlife covered and also the author) read by its creator. I learned a lot, got a bit sad at times, but was also very entertained. 11/10

Thoroughly charming book.
