Wzruszająca historia, która udowodni, że nikt nie jest za mały, żeby dbać o
przyrodę. Beanie kocha ptaki i uwielbia obserwować je z tatą. Kiedy
dziewczynka odkrywa, że dawno temu w jej wiosce żyły wielkie bociany białe,
chce zrobić wszystko, by znaleźć sposób na ich powrót. Niestety, nie jest to
takie proste. Bociany mogą przecież latać setki kilometrów, więc wypuszczenie
ich na okoliczne tereny nie wystarczy, aby wróciły i zostały na stałe. Czy
Beanie wspólnie z przyjaciółmi uda się opracować plan, aby sprowadzić bociany
do domu?
In Wilding, Isabella Tree tells the story of the 'Knepp experiment', a pioneering rewilding project in West Sussex, using free-roaming grazing animals to create new habitats for wildlife. Part gripping memoir, part fascinating account of the ecology of our countryside, this 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, teeming 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.
Drawn to Mexico by her powerful curiosity about this ancient land, Isabella Tree embarks on a journey to get to the heart of its complex and colourful culture. She takes part in shamanic rituals with the Maya; revels through the night with transvestites in Juchitan; awaits spirits in an ancient graveyard on Lake Patzcuaro; joins an Indian pilgrimage in the Sierra Madre; and spends a bloodthirsty Easter among self-flagellating penitents.
