Many are thousands of years old, some over ten millennia. Prize-winning nature writer Andrew Darby takes us on an island odyssey to discover these ancient survivors: the mysterious King's Lomatia, perhaps the oldest single tree alive; the primeval King Billy, Pencil and Huon pines with their stories of human admiration and destruction; and the majestic giant eucalypts. He shares tales of the scientists and nature-lovers who identified these ancients and now work to protect them from climate change and fire, offering hope for their future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Darby","offers":[{"title":"304 pages \/ 04\/03\/2025 \/ Conservation of the environment","offer_id":57157967544695,"sku":"9781761069239","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781761069239","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
