Recenzii
Dutt's book provides an important discussion of an array of threats to a diverse range of species and then highlights examples of local-scale rewilding experiments that both address species loss and promote reintroduction of the species. The book is hopeful yet realistic, as it discusses how easily the best-intentioned rewilding program can be derailed. We often think of rewilding as something that can only benefit the developed world, but Dutt reminds us that the rest of the world faces challenges from growth, critical habitat loss and poaching. Central to the stories she recounts is the importance of local, small-scale action and role of communities in the challenging work of restoring ecosystems that have been lost or degraded through various forms of human activity.
