Bringing Back the Beaver Story Of One Man's Quest to Rewild Britain's Waterways

Description: Derek Gow might be the most colorful character in all of BeaverdomBen Goldfarb, author of Eager A treasureBooklist Bringing Back the Beaver is farmer-turned-ecologist Derek Gows inspirational and often riotously funny firsthand account of how the movement to rewild the British landscape with beavers has become the single most dramatic and subversive nature conservation act of the modern era. Since the early 1990s in the face of outright opposition from government, landowning elites and even some conservation professionals Gow has imported, quarantined and assisted the reestablishment of beavers in waterways across England and Scotland. In addition to detailing the ups and downs of rewilding beavers, Bringing Back the Beaver makes a passionate case as to why the return of one of natures great problem solvers will be critical as part of a sustainable fix for flooding and future drought, whilst ensuring the creation of essential lifescapes that enable the broadest possible spectrum of Britains wildlife to thrive.
