About John Read- Ecologist and Author 
John, and wife, Katherine, spent  years committed to the restoration of Australia’s deserts & arid zone ecosystems ) Founding  the Arid Recovery Project at Roxby Downs and writing about that adventure in “Red Sand Green Heart” (Lothian 2002)
 Last Wild Island: Saving Tetepare (2011) tells of the heartache and challenge of Tetepare Island, in the Solomon Islands, a conservation jewels of the South Pacific. This long, rugged island, cloaked in rainforest and fringed with reefs, is the largest uninhabited tropical island in the Southern Hemisphere. Home to leading conservation projects and a unique, locally-owned and managed ECO-lodge, Tetepare’s natural abundance attracts visitors from around the world.
John describes many aid organisations claiming that although Tetepare was a unique eco-system desperate for protection, it was too remote, too political, with too many people involved and too hard. But “We thought bugger it, we'll give it a go."!
