Author Event with Thomas Crowther: Nature's Echo

(4 Jun 26, Transworld)


Thursday 2 July 2026

6-7.30pm


When Earth's ecosystems fall out of harmony, the damage can spiral out of control. But what if we could help nature to regain its balance?

As a leading ecologist, Professor Thomas Crowther studies not just how species work in isolation, but how complex ecosystems regulate themselves.

When nature’s cycles are allowed to build momentum, each species can create the conditions to allow others to thrive. From the birth of galaxies to the creation of life, the greatest transformations in our universe have been driven by quiet, self-reinforcing processes known as feedback loops.

Drawing on cutting-edge ecological science, gripping personal narrative and initiatives already happening around the world, Nature’s Echo shows how natural feedback loops have astonishing power to rebound, even with minor intervention. If we can only realize how integral we are to this highly interconnected natural world, we will re-discover the path to a better future.

Thomas Crowther is a professor of global ecology and founding chair of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. He is the president of the Branch Institute, an international network of research groups in leading universities across 6 countries, focussed on understanding the linkages between global biodiversity and human wellbeing. In 2020, he founded Restor.eco, an online platform that supports hundreds of thousands of community-led nature initiatives to access data and sustainable financing. In 2022 the WEF recognized Crowther as a Young Global Leader for his work on global biodiversity protection.

Must read: Nature’s Echo is the scientific basis for optimism, showing that true regeneration is within our grasp. The Edge, U2

Earth-restoring and life-affirming with a vital message for our times. Dive in.

Kate Raworth, author of bestseller Doughnut Economics
