Britain’s Elite Are Destroying The Countryside. Here’s How | Aaron Bastani meets Guy Shrubsole

3/3 This was #GuyShrubsole's first book, Who Owns England -- I have still not made good my pledge to read it, which I renew. His next book will return to this theme and is to be called The Lie of the Land. #LandOwnership https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/apr/28/who-owns-england-guy-shrubsole-review-land-ownership
Who Owns England? by Guy Shrubsole review – why this land isn’t your land

A compelling study uncovers the secrets of English land ownership and argues that reform is long overdue

The Guardian
#GuyShrubsole is an effective campaigner, who manages to bring together a range of areas (inc. land ownership reform) & actors capable of protecting & enlarging Britain's #TemperateRainforests. His presence cheers me up -- post Brexit #UKpolitics has been so dismal. His next book will be more directly political than this one, which has functioned as an unusually good calling card on power for a green lefty (the work isn't over ofc). This book is a quick & pleasurable read. #ecology #environment
4/n it’s also the case that most of us are just not well-informed enough about processes and details; we have placards that say “system change now”, but would it not sometimes be better to at least understand what specific commitments our governments need to make at what points and ask for those? I am inspired in all this by this photo by #GuyShrubsole during #COP26 But fully acknowledge my take may be naive, uninformed and misguided itself.
Some long historical contexts on #deforestation in #Ireland -- 'Despirited Forests, Deforested Landscapes: The Historical Loss of Irish Woodlands' by Marjan Shokouhi, 2019 . Europe is moving towards Northern Spring in #drought conditions (obviously Europe is far better placed to deal with these than many regions). Forests (esp. naturally regenerated ones) have a role in maintaining rainfall. Must read that #GuyShrubsole book, too. #Ecology #Climate Diary https://journals.openedition.org/etudesirlandaises/6812

Introduction Once considered one of the most heavily-forested regions in Europe, the Republic of Ireland lies at the bottom of the European forest cover index with less than 11% of its total land a...

@littlerachyb I've just finished reading books by #GuyShrubsole #merlinsheldrake and #GeorgeMonbiot on this topic. Keen to hear any other recommendations for books and podcasts on #temperaterainforest and related topics
