My Head for a Tree

The extraordinary story of the Bishnoi, the world's oldest sustainable community in Rajasthan, India — men and women who have died to defend trees from loggers and wildlife from poachers. Goodman, one of few trusted outsiders, relates their 600-year history and asks what a world facing climate change can learn from them. A Spectator Book of the Year 2024, with a foreword by Peter Wohlleben and photographs by Franck Vogel. Shortlisted for the Richard Jefferies Award.

"Sensitive and engaging ... I hope everybody reads it."
