Chennai-based writer and naturalist Yuvan Aves’ book ‘Intertidal’, a nature journal chronicling two years of observations in Chennai’s coastal habitats, has been shortlisted for The Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing, a U.K. literary award given annually to books celebrating outdoors, nature, and conservation.
This makes Mr. Aves — the author of two books on ecology and four children’s books — the first South Asian writer to be nominated for the prize named after renowned British fellwalker and author Alfred Wainwright.
