5x15 Stories | Guy Shrubsole on The Lost Rainforests of Britain | 5x15 @5x15stories3 | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
Guy Shrubsole is a writer and environmental campaigner. The Lost Rainforests of Britain is the story of a unique habitat that has been so ravaged, most people today don’t realise it exists. Temperate rainforest may once have covered up to one-fifth of Britain and played host to a dazzling variety of luminous life-forms. Guy embarks on an awe-inspiring journey through the Atlantic oakwoods and hazelwoods of the Western Highlands and the Lake District, down to the rainforests of Wales, Devon and Cornwall, mapping these under-recognised ecosystems in exquisite detail. Guy has worked for Rewilding Britain, Friends of the Earth, the UK government’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and New Zealand’s Ministry of Agriculture. His first book, Who Owns England?, was an instant Sunday Times bestseller.
5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations. There are only two rules - no scripts and only 15 minutes each.
