Birds, conservation, and a life in connection with nature

LoraKim Joyner brings her decades of work as a wildlife veterinarian and avian conservationist in the Americas to a guide centered on spending time with birds. Birding is presented not only as an encounter with wildlife, but as part of a broader way of living in relation to the planet. The book also addresses losses and pressures Joyner has witnessed, including declining biodiversity, climate change, political polarization, and pandemics. Her work leading bird walks and serving as a Unitarian Universalist minister informs an approach that connects conservation with healing and hope.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in birding and wildlife conservation
  • Readers exploring connections between personal well-being and care for the planet
  • Those interested in faith-informed perspectives on conservation and healing

Book overview

Humorous, compelling, and insightful, these pages are a guide to living a life that is good for oneself and the planet by immersing oneself in the world of birds. LoraKim draws on experiences and knowledge from a lifetime of working with birds as a conservationist to summarize this book in a provocative way:

 

"If you are reading this book, shut the cover and go out and be with birds. If you still persist, I warned you. The beauty is in more than in words, but in birds."

 

LoraKim Joyner has worked in avian conservation in the Americas for nearly four decades as a wildlife veterinarian. As part of her work, and as a result of the devastation to people and parrots she has witnessed, LoraKim offers healing and hope to a world where loss of biodiversity, climate change, terrorism, political polarization, and pandemics threaten us all. She does this by leading Bird Walks all over the country, and as a Unitarian Universalist minister and Co-director of One Earth Conservation.
