Can rewilding rebalance the UK’s ecosystem?
from KYTOS Biology · host KYTOS
Rewilding offers a possible solution to reverse our rapidly deteriorating rural landscape. The natural world is often seen as a resource merely to exploit and the hunting of wild animals in the UK was only banned in 2004. The reintroduction of key species would have positive ecological consequences; a reduction in the number of invasive species, a reduction in the level of soil erosion and the straightening of river channels thereby creating more diverse wildlife habitats, to name but a few. In this podcast, I will discuss the ability of rewilding to potentially rebalance the UK’s landscape. (With thanks to Grace B for conducting the research and providing the content for this podcast)
