Description
Finalist in the People's Book Prize for Non-Fiction 2022/2023. In Cornerstones, Benedict Macdonald explores how Britain's cornerstone species may hold the key to recovering our biodiversity on land and in our seas.
The natural world is facing a crisis, with climate change, flooding, drought, and catastrophic biodiversity loss threatening our precious archipelago. But what if restoring species that once helped protect our islands could help turn this crisis around? Macdonald reveals how beavers craft wetlands, save fish, encourage otters, and prevent rivers from flooding.
From the importance of boars in butterfly conservation to the crucial role of whales in restoring seabird cities, Cornerstones transforms our understanding of the natural world forever. By exploring the lives of these 'cornerstone species', Macdonald explains how humans can become the greatest stewards of the natural world.
