Rewild the World at Bedtime

There are many stories in the news about animals becoming endangered for a variety of reasons and sometimes it seems nature is losing the battle for survival. 

But all over the world, inspirational people, determined communities and even concerned governments are instigating plans to allow the natural world to flourish as it once did. And some of the results are proving to be transformational. 

By planting milkweed and succulents, gardeners and schoolchildren have halted the decline in the numbers of monarch butterflies that migrate between Canada and Mexico every year. In Oslo, rooftop gardens and beehives are helping to counteract the loss of habitat for the bees that are essential for pollination.  

Closer to home, the reintroduction of beavers to English rivers is encouraging the return of other wildlife by creating valuable wetland habitat – and their dams are helping to improve water quality and can even prevent flooding during periods of excessive rainfall. 

With 20 fascinating stories from places as far apart as Mozambique, Nepal and New Zealand, this lavishly illustrated giftbook presents complex information about delicate ecosystems in an engaging and accessible format.   

Positive rewilding projects, beautifully presented; a great addition to any home or school library.
