 Friends of the Earth are co-publishers of Wild Britain: A Traveller's Guide by Douglas Botting. Their connection with the book arose out of a common interest in spreading knowledge of wild places.
FoE felt that their members would like the descriptions of wild places offered in Wild Britain and the other Wild Guides and that they would appreciate the underlying philosophy of the series. The aim of the Wild Guides is not only to inform back-packers, walkers and other outdoor enthusiasts about where to go but also to disseminate a deeper understanding of the rhythms of nature and so to increase support for nature conservation.
As the editor of FoE's Earthmatters magazine pointed out, there is an alternative to the conspicuous-consumption and fuel-guzzling syndrome of the plane-hopping summer holiday. ‘You can travel in a planet-friendly way and see amazing wildlife without leaving Britain,’ he writes. ‘Wild Britain offers a personal but very practical guide to Britain’s wild places.’ And in buying the book, he adds, ‘you’ll be helping fund FoE’s campaign for stronger laws to help protect our wild places’.
