Joe Harkness's new book, 'Neurodivergent, By Nature,' explores the experiences of neurodivergent individuals in the conservation sector. The book delves into both the opportunities and challenges faced by neurodivergent people working to protect the environment. Harkness argues that the unique perspectives and skills of neurodivergent individuals are crucial for advancing conservation efforts. By highlighting the potential contributions of those with neurological differences, the book advocates for greater inclusivity and a more diverse workforce within the environmental field, ultimately benefiting both the individuals and the natural world.
