Description
Rewilding: The Radical New Science of Ecological Recovery by Paul Jepson and Cain Blythe is a groundbreaking exploration of rewilding, a new approach to conservation that blends radical scientific insights with practical innovations. This book explains the science behind restoring wild nature, revealing how it can revive ecological processes and benefit both people and the environment. Rewilding has the potential to restore lost interactions between animals, plants, and natural disturbance, creating thriving ecosystems. The authors showcase exciting possibilities, such as 'de-domesticated' horses galloping across Dutch landscapes, beavers creating wetlands in British countryside, and giant tortoises restoring wildlife in Mauritian islands. By exploring rewilding's sense of hope and purpose, this book offers a compelling vision for the future of conservation.
