'Reading Hannah’s story, compellingly told, you will fall in love with these increasingly endangered birds, true masters of the sky.’ - Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE

'A voice for nature' - Emma Marsh, RSPB 

Nature Needs You is a powerful and inspiring true story for anyone who cares deeply about wildlife, conservation, and protecting Britain’s wildlife. When Hannah Bourne-Taylor discovered that UK swift populations were in freefall, down more than 60% since 1995! she didn’t wait for someone else to take action. With no background in campaigning, no funding, and no connections, she launched a grassroots mission to save these iconic birds.

This remarkable book takes readers behind the scenes of a passionate campaign to make swift bricks, a legal requirement in the UK (special nesting spaces built into new homes.) Not to mention her unforgettable Feather Speech and the support she gained from politicians like Caroline Lucas and Zac Goldsmith, Nature Needs You truly is a must-read for nature and bird lovers, or anyone who believes that one person really can make a difference.
