The Case for Nature: Rethinking Our Relationship with the Living Planet

The world is facing two intertwined crises—while climate change dominates headlines, the collapse of our ecosystems is an equally urgent, yet often overlooked, catastrophe. In The Case for Nature, Siddarth Shrikanth makes a compelling argument: to build a thriving future, we must redefine our relationship with nature—not as something separate, but as the foundation of our economies, societies, and lives.

Drawing on pioneering environmental efforts from around the globe, Shrikanth introduces trailblazers leading the nature-positive revolution, demonstrating how restoring and preserving our planet’s ‘natural capital’ can drive prosperity. He also turns to indigenous worldviews, urging us to reconsider modern society’s detachment from nature and advocating for a more holistic, integrated approach to progress.

Offering both hope and actionable solutions, The Case for Nature is a vital read for anyone who wants to understand how protecting nature is not just an environmental cause—but an economic and social imperative for a sustainable future.
