Generation Restoration: How to Fix Our Relationship Crisis with Mother Nature. Tim Christopherson. Wiley. 2026. ISBN: 9781394328222.

Generation Restoration is a book calling for a shift from extraction to ecological restoration, framed as a practical roadmap for repairing humanity's relationship with nature. The book's core idea is that nature should be treated as essential infrastructure, not scenery, and that restoring ecosystems is central to climate, food, water, and social resilience. It also emphasizes ecological literacy, collective action, and the role of business, government, and communities in restoration.
