About this listen

Rewilding is the first popular book on the ground-breaking science behind the restoration of wild nature.

As ecologists Paul Jepson and Cain Blythe show, rewilding is a new and progressive approach to conservation, blending radical scientific insights with practical innovations to revive ecological processes, benefiting people as well as nature. With its sense of hope and purpose, rewilding is breathing new life into the conservation movement and enabling a growing number of people to enjoy thrilling wildlife experiences previously accessible only in remote wilderness reserves.

‘De-domesticated’ horses galloping across a Dutch ‘Serengeti’; beavers creating wetlands in the British countryside; giant tortoises restoring the wildlife of the Mauritian islands; perhaps one day even rhinos roaming the Australian outback - rewilding is full of exciting and inspirational possibilities.

I don't think I would have chosen this book if it hadn't been among my free Audible suggestions. I am very new to literature about nature and ecology, and when I started listening, I thought "Rewilding" might be too complex for my very limited knowledge. But the book is written so well and clearly that I had no problem understanding anything and very much enjoyed learning about rewilding, its origins and evolution and its potential challenges and benefits.
The authors present truly fascinating and revolutionary ideas and - while rewilding may have its risks - nature-based solutions and their potential benefits are unquestionably worth exploring.
"Rewilding" is an excellent and enjoyable listen, and I am looking forward to learning more about nature and ecology.

Fascinating insight into rewilding.
