Dr Mya-Rose Craig is a twenty-two-year-old British-Bangladeshi diversity activist and author better known as Bird Girl for the blog she started aged just eleven. In her travel memoir, she reveals the inspiration; how birdwatching kept her family together when her mother was struggling with an undiagnosed bipolar disorder. Aged 14, Mya-Rose founded Black2Nature to engage Visible Minority Ethnic communities and white young people from deprived areas with nature; organising nature camps, holding conferences, appearing on stage with names like Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot. Aged 17 she wrote the Manifesto for Diversity in Nature Conservation for naturalist Chris Packham and in 2020 was the youngest British person to be awarded an honorary doctorate from Bristol University for her work campaigning for diversity in the environmental sector.
