Discover the extraordinary ways nature has come back from the brink in
this collection of 20 environmental success stories from around the
world, written by Dr Helen Scales and beautifully illustrated by Good
Wives and Warriors. From humpback whale populations thriving again in
the freezing seas of Alaska and the recovery of kiwi populations in New
Zealand, to the setting up of tiger sanctuaries and reserves in India
and return of elephant seals from 'extinction', this book plants a
message of hope and shows children that positive change is possible.
As well as the 20 recovery stories, Return of the Wild teaches
children about the different habitats that animals and plants around the
world call home - oceans, forests, deserts and more - and introduces
them to the real people supporting endangered species. Finishing off
with small tips on what children at home can do to help the wild world,
from wearing eco-friendly suncream while swimming in the sea to using
less single use plastic, this book reassures children that there are
many ways to protect and save our planet from environmental harm.
