The RSPB's Book of the Season The distinctive white-tailed sea
eagle was driven to extinction in Britain more than 200 years ago,
but this immense predator is making a return to our skies, thanks
to Roy Dennis, an ornithologist, conservationist and arguably the
driving force behind the UK's reintroduction agenda. Roy was
instrumental in returning the Osprey, red kite and golden eagle to
the British Isles, but the road to reintroduction isn't an easy
one. In what will surely be the seminal book on British
reintroductions, Roy details the painstaking process of returning
the Goldeneye to Scotland, one duckling at a time, the die-hard
determination needed to make a dazzling success of the red kite
reintroduction and the leap of faith we will all need to make to
accept sharing our forests and skies with large carnivores again.
He also illustrates all that we have to gain by restoring our
ecosystems to balance. Filled with a lifetime's worth of stories
from the front lines of conservation, Reintroduction offers an
eye-opening insight into the complexities of reintroducing extinct
animals to Britain. It's also an intimate portrait of these apex
predators and a reminder of why we need them.
