Description
Benedict MacDonald's Rebirding explores the long history of Britain's wildlife decline, from the early modification of its landscape to the present day. The book examines the key factors driving species loss, including the removal of cornerstone species and the intensification of modern landscapes.
The author argues that Britain has a unique opportunity to reverse its wildlife decline, with 94% of the country remaining untouched. However, the problem lies not in the lack of space, but in the wasteful use of this space, particularly for wildlife and rural economies. MacDonald proposes a solution, outlining a vision for rewilding national parks, restoring natural ecosystems, and creating new rural jobs.
By exploring the complexities of Britain's wildlife decline and proposing a path forward, Rebirding offers a compelling and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in conservation, ecology, and the future of rural Britain.
