The Ecological and social crises that engulf the planet are intensifying. As we deny the consequences of the disruptions we cause, and promote inadequate solutions, we lose grip on the extent of change needed globally. Perhaps we will only listen if a voice from nature speaks out explicitly.

Based on seven years of in-depth research, Godwin Vasanth Bosco finds that a remarkable mountainous landscape in India, called the Nilgiris, is actively―with volition―showing us the way forward. Metaphor Island captures the colossal story of this landscape through images and writing. It is an explication of the stark patterns and messages from the mountains that will pique the interests of scientists, policy makers, students and anyone interested in social and environmental change. Vasanth translates this voice, emerging from the ecological patterns he has observed in the Nilgiris, into five guides and solutions that are crucial for our collective future.
