Regularly driving long distances to birding hotspots and frequent flying to see exotic species are seen as perfectly normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the face of the climate crisis, however, a growing number of birders are reassessing the way they enjoy and study birds. In this timely book, 30 contributors—from young birdwatchers to professional ornithologists—explain why and how they are shifting to climate-friendlier approaches. Low-carbon birding, they argue, is a legitimate and valuable way of enjoying birds. Furthermore, in itself this can bring many joys, some of them unexpected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom first encounters with hawfinches to focusing in on birdsong, from the Kalahari to the Hebrides, the stories told here are not about heroic efforts to save the planet. They are simply accounts of everyday humanity in unprecedented times—ordinary people with doubts and concerns about how to live a decent life and act responsibly in a rapidly warming world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe authenticity of their voices is a testament to the moment of awakening to the climate crisis in British ornithology.
