Laurence Rose Author

Laurence Rose is a leading wildlife conservationist who has worked in more than twenty countries to save species from extinction and defend the most important places for wildlife. He joined the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) in 1983 and is currently Change Manager for Back from the Brink, a hugely ambitious, eightorganisation, multi-million pound collaboration for threatened species recovery across all nature. After more than three decades in mainstream conservation he is using his writing to challenge government, society and the conservation sector itself to adopt a more radical, urgent approach. His first book The Long Spring was published in 2018, and Framing Nature in October 2020. Laurence is also a writer, composer and artistic collaborator. All his writing originates from direct personal experience and mindful observation. Originally from Kent, he has lived in rural West Yorkshire since 1999.
