Few of us grow up believing we can save the world but Australian environmentalist and social entrepreneur Natalie Kyriacou believes that meaningful change is possible if we all engage in it together.
Awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for her conservation efforts in 2018 Natalie made Forbes' "30 Under 30" list for social entrepreneurship and has invested heavily in educating and engaging young people in environmental issues.
But her latest venture - a book entitled Nature's Last Dance: Tales of Wonder in an Age of Extinction is aimed at everyone who inhabits this planet.
In it, Natalie lays bare the damage that humans have done to the very place that sustains us but she also lays out a framework for change - and hope.
Told with honesty and humour, it's a book about what we can learn from nature - a chance to see ourselves through nature's lens - before it is too late.
