Birding for Life: How to Save Ourselves, Birds, and the Planet

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.
