How much can one love a tree?Rajasthan, in northern India, is home to the Bishnoi, a desert people whose religion is built around nature and wildlife conservation. They are renowned for the extreme lengths they go to defend nature: Bishnoi have died to defend trees from loggers and in pursuit of illegal poachers. In My Head For A Tree, Martin Goodman charts the history of the Bishnoi way of life, and asks what a world facing climate change and natural harms can learn from a 600 year-old sustainable community. Goodman explores what lessons we can learn from the Bishnoi's resilience and commitment to their delicate way of life in the face of modern adversity. Written with the blessing and guidance of the Bishnoi, My Head For A Tree is a timely reflection on how we can adjust our lives to protect the natural world and our planetary future.
