Rebugging the Planet

Rebugging the Planet by Vicki Hird explores the often-overlooked importance of invertebrates for healthy ecosystems and food systems.

Drawing on Hird's decades of campaigning and policy work, the book highlights how insects and other invertebrates underpin processes like pollination, decomposition and soil health.

It examines the threats posed by pesticides, habitat loss and industrial farming, and advocates for practical and policy changes to restore nature-friendly practices.

Hird combines storytelling, scientific insight and campaigning perspective to encourage readers to 'rebug' attitudes toward wildlife.

The book aims to inspire both individual action in gardens and systemic change in agriculture and conservation.
