Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity conservation Restoration Ecology Land use Human ecology Farm area Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : For years Isabella Tree and her husband, Charlie Burrell, farmed Knepp Castle Estate and struggled to turn a profit. By 2000, with the farm facing bankruptcy, they decided to try something radical. They would restore Knepp’s 3,500 acres to the wild. Using herds of free-roaming animals to mimic the actions of the megafauna of the past, they hoped to bring nature back to their depleted land. But what would the neighbors say, in the manicured countryside of modern England where a blade of grass out of place is considered an affront?
In the face of considerable opposition the couple persisted with their experiment and soon witnessed an extraordinary change. New life flooded into Knepp, now a breeding hotspot for rare and threatened species like turtle doves, peregrine falcons, and purple emperor butterflies.
The fabled English nightingale sings again.
At a time of looming environmental disaster, Wilding is an inspiring story of a farm, a couple, and a community transformed. Isabella Tree’s wonderful book brings together science, natural history, a fair bit of drama, and—ultimately—hope.Note de contenu : Visite virtuelle de la ferme Knepp Estate avec cette vidéo (15 min.) sur Youtube : https://youtu.be/mP3-TsRRSys En ligne : https://www.nyrb.com/products/wilding?variant=13867544150068 Wilding: returning nature to our farm [livre] / Isabella Tree . - New York : New York Review of Books (nyrb), 2019 . - 362 p.
