Description

Derek Gow's Bringing Back the Beaver is a compelling account of the rewilding movement in Britain's waterways. Since the early 1990s, Gow has worked tirelessly to reintroduce beavers to English and Scottish rivers, facing opposition from various quarters along the way. His story is one of determination and passion, as he makes a strong case for the benefits of beavers in mitigating flooding and drought, while also creating essential habitats for a wide range of wildlife. Gow's experiences with beavers are both humorous and instructive, offering a unique insight into the challenges and rewards of rewilding. This book is a passionate advocate for the role of beavers in conservation, and Gow's enthusiasm is infectious. By exploring the ups and downs of this ambitious project, Bringing Back the Beaver sheds light on the importance of preserving Britain's natural heritage. With its engaging narrative and thought-provoking themes, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in nature, conservation, and the environment.
