Fred Pearce

Fred Pearce reports on environmental science, development, and the ways human activity reshapes ecosystems. Confessions of an Eco-Sinner follows the global supply chains behind everyday food and goods, connecting personal consumption with workers, water use, energy, and land. The New Wild challenges familiar assumptions about introduced species and argues that novel ecosystems can show considerable resilience. Beacon Press describes Pearce as a veteran environmental journalist whose reporting has taken him across scores of countries, while Penguin Random House identifies his long association with New Scientist and his contributions to major newspapers and science publications. These two books show complementary sides of his work: one traces the distant consequences of ordinary choices, and the other asks conservationists to reconsider how nature responds to rapid change.
