Rainforest: Dispatches from Earth’s Most Vital Frontlines is a personal story, drawing on the author’s many years’ experience at the frontline of the fight to save the rainforests, explaining the science and history of the campaigns, and what it has felt like to be there, amid the conflicts and dilemmas.

This book is an in depth, wide-ranging, first-hand narrative that not only looks at the state of the world’s tropical rainforests today and the implications arising from their continuing decline, but also at what is being done, and can be done in future, to protect the forests and the 1.6 billion people that depend upon them. It is inspirational, too, in its descriptions of the rainforest’s remarkable birds and plants … and its indigenous people.

Juniper's sheer wonderment at the world's rainforests is ever bit as compelling as his environmental passion. -- Jon Wright * Geographical * People take action when they are inspired. And this is exactly what Tony's book does. It is an incredible, first-hand account of one of the most important environment battles of our time, one that we simply cannot afford to lose. Because a fight for the rainforests is a fight for planet earth. And for the peoples of the world. -- Eric Solheim, Head of the United Nations Environment Programme Praise for Tony Juniper: 'He is by popular consent the most effective of Britain's eco-warriors * Independent * One of the top ten environmental figures of the last thirty years -- The ENDS Report [Tony Juniper] is among the 100 people who are making the decisions that affect your life * Country Life * [What Has Nature Ever Done For Us? is] a brilliant resume of Nature's New Deal: nurture me and I'll nurture you. -- Nick Crane
