Author Interview with Nicholas Milton: The Secret Life of the Adder
|
|
|
According to ‘Make the Adder Count’, this species will disappear from most of Britain in the next 15-20 years unless we take action now. The Secret Life of the Adder contains a 10-point action plan which, if implemented, could help to restore the adder to its former range across Britain. With a foreword by BBC’s Iolo Williams, this book is a story of our time, one which typifies the age of extinction through which we are all living and are all responsible.
Author Nicholas Milton spoke with us about the inspiration behind The Secret Life of the Adder, his opinion on current ecological guidelines, his advice for those who'd like to proactively contribute to monitoring and/or conservation efforts, and much more.
