This guide is more than a book. It's a renewed narrative of connecting to nature and ourselves. Drawing on art and science, it crafts a beautiful and compelling story of South Australia's wildlife, plants, and ecosystems. It explores notions of self - such as love, belief, doubt - while entwining ecological concepts of habitats, symbiotic relationships, fire, environmental clearance, species behaviour, extinction, and recovery.It is a bold approach to conservation education and seeks to open the pathway to recognising nature is at the centre of who we are, as people and as a collective. Within the 368 pages, you will find a collection of poetry, photography, ideas to connect with nature and over 680 species of plants, animals, and other life forms (including over 70 with a conservation rating). This guide is for the dreamers, adventurers, creative souls, and conservationists: it's your companion to exploring and reflecting on South Australia's wild places.
