"A book worth returning to multiple times. A fascinating primer on the
intricacies of ecosystems." -- Kirkus, starred review
Discover inspiring stories of wildlife brought back from the brink of
extinction - a perfect gift for kids who care about the environment!
Rewilding means returning animals or plants to places where they used to
live. In this book, acclaimed conservation biologist and science
communicator David A. Steen introduces children to the scientists
determined to turn back the hands of time to create a greener future.
Read about awe-inspiring rewilding projects, including:
- The wolves that returned to Yellowstone National Park and
dramatically improved the ecosystem
- The beavers reintroduced to their old territories to build dams to
stop them flooding
- The Galápagos giant tortoises who beat the odds to survive extinction
and return to their island home
Throughout the heartwarming true stories, beautifully illustrated by
award-winning artist Chiara Fedele, children will learn how different
species evolved to live side by side and will see what it takes to be a
conservation scientist. They might even be inspired to become a wildlife
activist themselves!
By the end of the book kids will be left with a key message: it's not
too late to fix the planet.
