Eoghan Daltun: Setting the Land Free, Gebunden

Klappentext

In Setting the Land Free , award-winning author and rewilder Eoghan Daltun explores the state of rewilding in Ireland, as the beginnings of a mass movement - the like of which has been successfully modelled in Scotland - grows in impact and stature. As he considers the radical shift that is needed in our relationship with our natural world, he takes to the high roads and by-roads to meet with those at the forefront of change.

The book provides an inspiring vision for rewilding in an Irish context, creating refuges for wild nature in a landscape that has been given over almost entirely to human extractive processes, such as industrialised farming or monoculture plantation forestry. From those involved in bog ecosystem restoration, to native species reintroduction, to rewilding at sea, forest rewilding and much more, Eoghan meets with the pioneers at the cutting edge of the transformed relationship with nature required for the future of diverse species and habitats, and for ecological balance.

A courageous book that forges a vision that is as inspiring as it is urgent.
