We're Back!: The Extraordinary Wildlife Returning to Britain, and How We Can Help
Autor Tony Juniperen Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 apr 2027
Telling the inspiring stories of ten remarkable species, Tony Juniper charts how creatures once pushed to the brink are making dramatic comebacks across Britain. From beavers reshaping river landscapes to white-tailed eagles soaring once more over English skies, from the delicate resurgence of the Lady's Slipper Orchid to the triumphant return of cranes, butterflies, frogs and more - each story is a testament to persistence, ingenuity and hope.
These revivals have not come easily. Some are the result of decades of careful conservation work, while others, like spoonbills and bluefin tuna, are nature's own quiet victories. Together, they paint a vivid picture of what is possible when people and wildlife are given a chance to coexist.
But this is more than a celebration. Juniper also looks ahead, exploring bold and sometimes controversial ideas for future reintroductions, including lynx, pelicans and even wolves, to challenge us to imagine a richer, wilder Britain. Passionate, thought-provoking and ultimately optimistic, We're Back! is a rallying cry as much as a joyful book: a reminder that while nature is under threat, recovery is within reach and the story is far from over.
