Bringing Back the Beaveris farmer-turned-ecologist Derek Gows inspirational and often riotously funny first-hand account of how the movement to rewild beavers into the British landscape became 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.With a foreword by bestselling author of Wilding, Isabella Tree, 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 the UKs growing flooding problems, whilst ensuring the creation of essential landscapes that enable the broadest spectrum of Britains wildlife to thrive.
