Sophie Pavelle – To Have or To Hold – Nature’s Hidden Relationships

Award-winning author Sophie Pavelle explores nature’s symbiotic relationships. Investigating eight relationships trying to survive the climate crises, Pavelle asks: what can nature teach us about living together? Species form and sever alliances everywhere. Whether deep within temperate rainforests or the open ocean, nature thrives on relationships as glamorous as they are grotesque. Low carbon travelling around the British Isles, Sophie presents nature’s frauds, fortunetellers, and misfits.
