"'A fierce, passionate stand for the wild.'" -- Megan McCubbin, zoologist, conservationist and broadcaster "This engaging romp in search of our most endangered species is a timely reminder of the magic we have in nature and what we are set to lose if we don't wake up. Funny, full of interest and often poignant, travelling with Sophie Pavelle is a journey to remember." -- Isabella Tree, author of Wilding "A beautiful, important book full of humour, adventure, poignancy ... It'll stay with me for a long time and will make you value the country around you and even hungrier to protect it." -- Nell Frizzell, journalist and author of The Panic Years "Urgent and challenging, but also fun and beautifully written, Sophie documents her low-carbon journeys exposing the reality of climate change in Britain." -- Simon Reeve, broadcast journalist, adventurer and author of Step by Step "From rare butterflies to bats and bumblebees, Sophie takes us on a breathless but strangely relaxing whistle-stop tour of Britain in search of some of our less familiar, fragile and fascinating wildlife. Charming, witty and moving." -- Professor Dave Goulson, Professor of Biology and author of A Sting in the Tale "Beautiful. Rare. Profound. Hopeful." -- Charlotte Philby, author of A Double Life "Finding wonder in the familiar and celebrating the unknown in the everyday, this is a beautiful book - and so perfectly told." -- Professor Ben Garrod, author, broadcaster, biologist "'Sophie Pavelle writes with the urgency and voice of a generation. Her commitment is matched with a fierce knowledge of conservation biology and policymaking, whose murky corridors are expertly navigated. Passionate, pragmatic and seriously funny.'" -- Gillian Burke, biologist, presenter and writer "A wonderfully refreshing look at the vanishing species around us, what they mean and why they matter." -- Benedict Macdonald, naturalist, wildlife TV producer and author of Rebirding " 'Forget Me Not is that enchanting book that makes you want to put on your hiking boots and big coat, get outdoors and immerse yourself in nature. Sophie's writing is funny and accessible whilst being a call to arms for us to protect Britain's most vulnerable species. Perfect for old hats and newbies to wildlife. Highly recommended.'" -- Dr Amir Khan, NHS doctor, broadcaster, author and Vice President of The Wildlife Trusts, "'A fierce passionate stand for the wild.'" -- Megan McCubbin, zoologist, conservationist and broadcaster "This engaging romp in search of our most endangered species is a timely reminder of the magic we have in nature and what we are set to lose if we don't wake up.

The trials of ten treasured species that we can't afford to fail. A biological romp with a real mission." -- Chris Packham, broadcaster and author of Fingers in the Sparkle Jar "This engaging romp in search of our most endangered species is a timely reminder of the magic we have in nature and what we are set to lose if we don't wake up.

Make no mistake, this is serious stuff, requiring serious communication. But she balances love and irreverence, data and ditz. I loved the breezy humour, the sass and savviness." -- Dr Amy-Jane Beer, naturalist, writer, campaigner and Guardian Country Diarist "A wonderfully refreshing look at the vanishing species around us, what they mean and why they matter." -- Benedict Macdonald, naturalist, wildlife TV producer and author of Rebirding " Forget Me Not is that enchanting book that makes you want to put on your hiking boots and big coat, get outdoors and immerse yourself in nature.

Table of Content
CHAPTER ONE: MARSH FRITILLARY I begin my journey in the south-west of England, where I take a short train and cycle ride to Bodmin Moor to see one of the UK's rarest species of butterfly, which is persisting deep in the heart of the Cornish mire despite unimaginable challenges. CHAPTER TWO: HARBOUR PORPOISE Wasting no time, next I head straight to the Welsh coast, where I travel to Pembrokeshire to try and spot Britain's smallest cetacean feeding amid the infamous tidal races and renewable energy developments. CHAPTER THREE: SEAGRASS Staying in Wales and heading north to Snowdonia, I snorkel the freezing waters of the Irish Sea to find out why seagrass is fast becoming the habitat that we cannot afford to lose. CHAPTER FOUR: GREY LONG-EARED BAT Back home in Devon again, I hike one of my favourite stretches of the Jurassic coast to a rural farm to see whether I can find one of the last maternity roosts of Britain's rarest and most elusive bat. CHAPTER FIVE: BLACK GUILLEMOT Eager to get up to Scotland, I venture to the Orkney Islands, specifically the northernmost isle of this unique archipelago, to spend time with one of the British Isles' most overlooked seabirds and try to understand more about the threats this quirky bird faces. CHAPTER SIX: DUNG BEETLES Testing out how ready the UK is to function on electric vehicles, I borrow an electric car and drive to Knepp Castle Estate to learn why dung and its beetles are making a resurgence in this tiny patch of England and why we cannot ignore dung. CHAPTER SEVEN: ATLANTIC SALMON Back home to Devon and into a kayak, I travel down a swollen, autumnal river to try and understand why, in the face of climate change, the epic salmon run might become a feat of the past. CHAPTER EIGHT: MOUNTAIN HARE Travelling north to Scotland again, I head to the high heather moorlands of the East Cairngorms to see our native mountain hare and investigate why they are set to become strangers in their own habitat if temperatures continue to rise. CHAPTER NINE: MERLIN Cycling across England's Peak District to the Dark Peak, I'm searching for Britain's smallest falcon, hoping to discover why we keep forgetting about these birds and how they will fare in a warming world. CHAPTER TEN: BILBERRY BUMBLEBEE Finishing on my home patch, I make a final trip to Dartmoor, searching for Britain's 'mountain bee' and one of its last surviving populations in the south-west to understand better why its upland habitat might become too hot to handle.
