Rewilding: The Radical New Science of Ecological Recovery: 14 (Hot Science)

Product Information

Whether you have a balcony or a large open space, join horticulturalist Frances Tophill in welcoming the wilderness into your garden - and giving a little something back to the planet. Praised as ‘visionary' by conservationists and landowners alike, Rebirding sets out a compelling manifesto for restoring Britain's wildlife, rewilding its species and restoring rural jobs – to the benefit of all. Contrary to popular myth, large areas of our countryside are not productively farmed but remain deserts of opportunity for both wildlife and jobs. Britain has all the space it needs for an epic return of its wildlife. Winner of the Richard Jefferies Society and White Horse Book Shop Literary Prize In this highly topical book, practising ecologists Paul Jepson and Cain Blythe explore the ongoing scientific discoveries that are emerging from this fascinating field.
