But most of us live in cities. As more and more people grow up surrounded by buildings and asphalt, we have forgotten how to read landscapes: how to tell whether forests are shrinking, how climate change affects animals or whether the quality of the soil is changing.

And yet, reading a landscape correctly is important. If you understand what’s going on, you can hold local and national authorities accountable to do something about it before it’s too late.
