I have been fortunate enough to live a long life and travel the world. I have seen first hand the effect mankind has had on the planet and it greatly upsets me.
In my lifetime the human population has more than doubled. It is set to double again within my life expectancy – in one lifetime it will have more than quadrupled. It does not take a mathematical genius to know that this is unsustainable.
Common animals such as chimpanzees, tigers, elephants, rhinos, gorillas and butterflies are in danger of becoming extinct.
Everywhere I went it was the same story – deforestation, pollution, destruction, overpopulation and the slaughter of wildlife.
I wrote the Anthropocene Apocalypse to chronicle what I had seen, highlight the terrible consequences of what we were doing to nature and to suggest ways forward.
I tried to write it in an easy to read and interesting manner. I wanted it to be accessible and interesting.
It is the most important book I have written.

The book works because it is based on personal experience which allows the reader to engage with the subject – essential when ecology is so abstract and, frankly, daunting to most people. I found it useful in formulating my ‘life worship’ ideas.
I’m glad you found it useful Dave. Thank you.
Ecology is so important and what is happening so distressing. We have to find a way forward.
