Bringing back Britain’s lost species, with Nick Viney
Notas do episódio
If you’ve ever imagined what the world would have looked like before it was cut up for agriculture and urban life, you could do worse than to look at the work being done by rewilders, like Nick Viney.
For this episode, we took a road trip to meet Nick Viney, the creative force behind Rewilding Coombeshead, 400 acres of former farmland in southwest England that is being reclaimed by nature. Wild cats, beavers and buffalo act as ecosystem engineers, with countless species flooding back to the site. And listen out for a delightful cameo from the noisy white storks!
