Book
Investigating invaluable wild forces that shape Britain and could save our ecosystems. Delve deep into the world of the invaluable wild forces that helped shape the British Isles and could save our ecosystems in the future. Our precious archipelago is ravaged by climate change, bereft of natural ecosystems and now lies at the mercy of global warming, flooding, drought and catastrophic biodiversity loss. Could restoring the species that once helped protect these islands be our best solution? By reintroducing just 20 mammal species worldwide, scientists estimate we could restore half the world's lands to a thriving natural state. From familiar honeybees to returning natives like beavers and boars, Britain's cornerstone species hold the key to recovering our biodiversity on land and in our seas.
