Wild Kingdom

Zusatztext

<p><b>Shortlisted for THE WAINWRIGHT BOOK PRIZE 2017</b></p><p>Can Britain make room for wildlife? Stephen Moss believes it can.</p><p>The newspaper headlines tell us that Britains wildlife is in trouble. Its not just rare creatures that are vanishing, hares and hedgehogs, skylarks and water voles, even the humble house sparrow, are in freefall. But there is also good news. Otters have returned to the River Tyne; there are now beavers on the River Otter; and peregrines have taken up residence in the heart of London. Stephen Moss travels the length and breadth of the UK, from the remote archipelago of St Kilda to our inner cities, to witness at first-hand how our wild creatures are faring and ask how we can bring back Britains wildlife.</p>
