The media is full of tales of woe when it comes to climate and biodiversity, and the problems we face are indeed large, urgent and complex. But people, especially young people, want solutions rather than an ever more refined obituary of the planet. So Nancy Knowlton started on a journey to find examples of conservation success and in the process found that there is more room for hope than she had ever imagined.
