Rewilding means returning animals or plants to places where they used to live. This book, kids will find out about awe-inspiring rewilding projects, including the wolves that returned to Yellowstone National Park and dramatically improved the ecosystem, and the beavers reintroduced to their old territories to build dams to stop them flooding. In these heartwarming true stories children will learn how different species evolved to live side by side, and will see what it takes to be a conservation scientist. They might even be inspired to become a wildlife activist themselves! By the end of the book they will be life with a key message: it's not too late to fix the planet.
