Sophie Pavelle - To Have or To Hold 

Sophie Pavelle is science communicator and has worked for Beaver Trust and presented their award-winning documentary Beavers Without Borders. She is an Ambassador for The Wildlife Trusts and sat on the RSPB England Advisory Committee. Her first book, Forget Me Not, was widely praised for encouraging action against climate change and biodiversity loss.

Her latest book To Have or To Hold is a thrilling exploration of nature's symbiotic relationships, some comforting and familiar, others wildly alien. What can nature teach us about living together? Symbiotic relationships regulate ecosystems, strengthen resilience and bind pivotal connections. Species living together in symbiosis is no accident – these dynamics evolved. Species form and sever alliances everywhere, from deep within temperate rainforests to the open ocean, quiet tidal pools or chalk grasslands, and nature thrives on relationships as glamorous as they are grotesque and as bizarre as they are engrossing.

Sophie relishes the interconnectedness between species and celebrates the relationships that underpin natural environments. Low-carbon travelling around the British Isles, she presents nature's frauds, fortune-tellers, misfits and cheaters.
