Diary of a Young Naturalist by Dara McAnulty

4.0

A wonderful writer. His entry into climate catastrophe activism in the second half of the book, while he's still in high school, reminds me of a quote from an old favorite book: "At nineteen, life is a drama threatening to become a tragedy every fifteen minutes." Perhaps the author will use the knowledge he's gained as a gifted naturalist to develop his own balanced plan for change and learn how to advocate for it. Just so I don't just sound preachy, I'll give an example of a great nonprofit organization in the U.S. that advocates for cooperation with private landholders, not confrontation and regulation: https://www.perc.org/
