Jersey Festival of Words – Sophie Pavelle

FORGET ME NOT

JERSEY ARTS CENTRE

Science communicator Sophie Pavelle set out to find ten rare UK species under threat of extinction because of climate change. Her funny and insightful book Forget Me Not charts her low-carbon journey across Britain travelling on foot, by bicycle, electric car, kayak, ferry, and train. Join her in conversation with local ecologist John Pinel.

Like many of her generation, Sophie Pavelle is determined to demand action on climate change. In her hilarious and thought-provoking first book, she describes the trips she took to see ten rare native species: species that could disappear by 2050 and be forgotten by the end of the century if their habitats continue to decline.

‘This enchanting book could not be more timely; it brings much to inspire our future thinking, and is a joy to read.’ Joanna Lumley
