Can our interactions with wildlife help answer life's big questions?

In (Be)wilder, acclaimed urban ecologist Darryl Jones explores how people around the world interact with wildlife. He spends time with bearded pigs in Borneo, rock ptarmigans in the Arctic, birdwatchers in Iowa and conservationist farmers in Australia's Snowy Mountains.

Along the way, Jones asks, is it possible for farming and conservation to work together? How can urban landscapes be redesigned to enhance biodiversity? What happens when a local community turns centuries of traditional land use over to wildlife? And can birdwatching help save the planet?

'(Be)wilder is a 'call-to-action' and timely reminder to step up for our own survival.' Mark Parry, Good Reading Magazine

'A collection of true stories that highlight the resilience of nature and inspire curiosity about and admiration for our non-human neighbours.' Ash Davida Jane, Books + Publishing

'If Attenborough were ever to properly retire, Jones would pick up the mantle.' - Country Style

'(Be)wilder is highly readable: educational but never didactic. Rather than positioning himself as an authority, Jones is Attenborough-esque, crouched down before his audience, narrating nature in all its complexity, beauty, and mystery.' Adele Dumont, Australian Book Review
