Neurodivergent, by Nature
Why Biodiversity Needs Neurodiversity
Exploring the connections between nature, neurodiversity and the conservation world
Why are so many neurodivergent people drawn to the natural world – and what does that tell us about how we live and work?
After receiving an ADHD diagnosis in his thirties, Joe Harkness set out to better understand his lifelong bond with nature. In doing so, he began a wider investigation, speaking to neurodivergent people across conservation, ecology and other nature-based roles.
Threading these conversations with his own experience, Joe explores the skills, perspectives and passions that neurodivergent people bring to the sector, alongside the barriers they still face. From fieldwork to policy, from grassroots projects to major organisations, their stories reveal how different ways of thinking shape our relationship with the natural world.
At once personal and wide-ranging, Neurodivergent, by Nature offers a fresh perspective on biodiversity, inclusion and what more supportive environments – in nature and beyond – might look like.

Why don't we sell to the US?
Due to the recent suspension of the de minimis exemption, we’ve made the decision to temporarily pause all sales to the US. This change impacts how goods are imported and processed, making it challenging to continue offering our usual service to US customers.
We’re actively monitoring the situation and exploring solutions. Once we’re confident we can resume shipping reliably and cost-effectively, we’ll reopen US sales and notify our customers. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
