Women and non-binary nature writers
Women are 65% more likely to read a nonfiction book by the opposite sex than men are. Nature writing has traditionally been dominated by men. But more and more brilliant women and non-binary people are now writing about nature and conservation. Here are just some of them (suggestions welcome!)
Urban wildlife
Individuals and organisations that work with, volunteer, conserve or just celebrate urban biodiversity in our wild cities!
