Excellent- More about Cornerstones: Wild Forces That Can Change Our World
In "Cornerstones", Benedict Macdonald explores how restoring species that once protected Britain's natural riches can help turn the crisis around due to climate change, biodiversity loss, and global warming. He reveals how beavers craft wetlands, save fish, encourage otters, and prevent rivers from flooding, and how humans can become the greatest stewards of the natural world.

WRITTEN BY THE WAINWRIGHT-CONSERVATION-PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF REBIRDING
Discover the wild forces that once supported Britain's extraordinary natural riches and could do so again. Our precious archipelago is ravaged by climate change, devoid of natural ecosystems, and at the mercy of global warming, flooding, drought, and catastrophic biodiversity loss. But could restoring species that once helped protect our islands turn this crisis around?
From familiar yet imperiled honeybees and ancient oak woods to returning natives like beavers and boars, Britain's cornerstone species may hold the key to recovering our biodiversity on land and in our seas.
In "Cornerstones," we discover how beavers craft wetlands, save fish, encourage otters, and prevent rivers from flooding. We learn how "disruptive boars are seasoned butterfly conservationists," why whales are crucial for restoring seabird cities, and how wolves and lynx could save our trees, help sequester carbon, and protect our most threatened birds.
Benedict Macdonald transforms our understanding of the natural world forever, revealing lives that once supported extraordinary natural riches and explaining how humans, the most important cornerstone species of all, can become the greatest stewards of the natural world.
