Wild Capital: Discovering Nature in Delhi

'A call to notice, to cherish and to protect. A reminder that even in the heart of a city, wonder is waiting to be rediscovered.'

- Amitav Ghosh, author of The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable

'A bold and glorious book - brilliantly crafted at the level of the sentence and image. Its themes - memory, love, loss, care, value - are as embracing and urgent as they come. It's magnificent.'

- Robert Macfarlane, author of Is a River Alive?

'A triumph and a miracle - Wild Capital invites you to explore the living city hidden in plain sight. Neha Sinha writes with deep, unsentimental love and wisdom about how we might recover and celebrate wildness.'

- Nilanjana Roy, author of Black River

When is the last time you ran your hands through the tumult of wild grass flowers? Or stopped to watch a firefly? In a warming, hostile world, how do we find purpose? Perhaps we can start with noticing the bird outside one's window?

In her new book, Wild Capital, acclaimed nature writer Neha Sinha takes us on an unforgettable journey through the hidden wildernesses of the bustling metropolis of Delhi, where she finds wild creatures, ecological histories and a deep sense of meaning that bind us to the places we call our own. Exploring the city over many days and nights, Neha traces memories and the stories of extraordinary human lives, discovering centuries-old groves of trees and neglected rivers, mammal tracks and bird calls, words forgotten and then re-found.

The result is a deeply personal yet universal book which reveals how we can find our place in the world through the exploration of natural places-and presents a manifesto of hope through the rediscovery of nature.
