Call to reset our relationship with nature, taking mankind out of the centre 06 May 2021 - 15:21 By Mila de Villiers
“When a pandemic arises it puts everything that s wrong with our approach to nature and wildlife conservation to the forefront.”
This statement à la award-winning local investigative wildlife journalist and author, Adam Cruise.
Cruise is speaking to me via Zoom from his home on the outskirts of the southern cape seaside town of George about his latest title,
It s Not About the Bats: Conservation, the coronavirus and how we must re-set our relationship with nature.
“Well, no. Not really,” he answers in response to whether the writing of this book happened to be an unfortunate coincidence with regards to a global pandemic.
