Michael McCarthy is one of Britain's leading writers on the environment and the natural world. As a journalist, he was the Environment Correspondent of _The Times_ , covering the early measures taken to combat climate change, culminating in the Earth Summit at Rio de Janeiro; later he was the long- standing Environment Editor of _The Independent_. He has won a string of awards for his work, including Environment Journalist of The Year in the British Environment and Media Awards (three times); Specialist Writer of The Year in the British Press Awards; the Silver Medal of the Zoological Society of London; the Dilys Breeze Medal of the British Trust for Ornithology; and the Medal of the RSPB for 'outstanding services to conservation.' As an author he has written _Say Goodbye to the Cuckoo_ (2009), a study of Britain's summer migrant birds, which was widely praised; _The Moth Snowstorm: Nature and Joy_ (2015), which was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize and the Richard Jefferies Prize, and described by _The_ _New York Times_ as "an idiosyncratic and wonderful walk through his joy of nature"; and (with Jeremy Mynott and Peter Marren) _The Consolation of Nature - Spring in The Time of Coronavirus_(2020) which was chosen as one of _The Guardian_ 's Nature Books of The Year.
