Part gripping memoir, part fascinating account of the ecology of our countryside, Wilding is, above all, an inspiring story of hope. Forced to accept that intensive farming on the heavy clay of their land at Knepp was economically unsustainable, Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell made a spectacular leap of faith: they decided to step back and let nature take over. Thanks to the introduction of free-roaming cattle, ponies, pigs and deer - proxies of the large animals that once roamed Britain - the 3,500 acre project has seen extraordinary increases in wildlife numbers and diversity in little over a decade. Extremely rare species, including turtle doves, nightingales, peregrine falcons, lesser spotted woodpeckers and purple emperor butterflies, are now breeding at Knepp, and populations of other species are rocketing. The Burrells' degraded agricultural land has become a functioning ecosystem again, heaving with life - all by itself. Personal and inspirational, Wilding is an astonishing account of the beauty and strength of nature, when it is given as much freedom as possible. -- Publisher. 650 0 $a Biodiversity conservation $z England $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Nature conservation $z England $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Environmental protection $z England. 650 0 $a Land use, Rural $z England. 650 0 $a Farm management $z West Sussex. $z West Sussex. 650 0 $a Ecosystem management $z West Sussex. $z West Sussex. 650 0 $a Agricultural landscape management $z West Sussex. $z West Sussex. 650 7 $a Agricultural landscape management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00801019 650 7 $a Biodiversity conservation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01429861 650 7 $a Ecosystem management $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01432037 650 7 $a Environmental protection $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913324 650 7 $a Farm management $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921070 650 7 $a Land use, Rural $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00991587 650 7 $a Nature conservation $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034632 650 7 $a Biodiversit�at $2 gnd 650 7 $a Landschaftspflege $2 gnd 650 7 $a Landwirtschaftlicher Betrieb $2 gnd 650 7 $a Naturschutz $2 gnd 650 7 $a Rekultivierung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Renaturierung $g �Okologie $2 gnd 651 7 $a England $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a England $z West Sussex. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01202685 651 7 $a West Sussex $2 gnd 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210917012103.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20200829010350.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FAF41E7859F711EAB0F0C54897128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
