Can you point me to some good, accessible, and reasonably contemporary nature writing that does not double as travel writing? You know the sort of thing – I travelled to country X where I met this environmental activist (with the following idiosyncrasies) and went for a hike through the wilderness in order to see the lesser-spotted whatever in its increasingly threatened habitat…. Nothing wrong with writers doing this sort of thing – it's just that when everyone does it then it begins to look formulaic.
