Good book that was easy to enjoy. The storyline was always moving so the book never got stagnant. Engaging book that was fun to read.

This was an entertaining and informative read. I found myself sharing what I learned from this book with those around me. I recommend it to fans of good and highly readable non-fiction.

Thank you Bloomsbury and Netgalley for letting me read and review this book. I always enjoy reading and learning more about animals and nature. Kerr explores innovative and eye-opening projects led by a diverse group of passionate conservationists. They talk about the importance of ecological restoration. I learned a lot with reading this book, and think everyone should read it. The writing style is pretty good; maybe a little dry, but informational and important to read.

Kerr's deep dive into the meaning of "rewilding" means and what that looks like it a variety of contexts was intriguing and left me desperate to know more about some of the projects she highlights. Modern day conservation is not a one-size-fits-all protocol and the projects highlighted in Kerr's book showcase how geographical and social factors play a vital role in conservation design.

Rewilding is growing as a practice in the conservation field. This book offers an interesting look at various rewilding projects around the world.

It’s not a textbook on how to do rewilding, but you do learn a lot from the stories about the various projects. You will see what worked and what didn’t. Some projects are new and some are long-term. All have dedicated folks working toward improving the planet for various species.

The book is a bit tough to get into at first. I think the subject is one that demands a lot of focus on specific species and techniques, while this book is mostly to tell the stories of each project. This is perfect as an introduction to the practices of rewilding.

Enjoyable read about a subject that will, hopefully, be getting more popular as we learn how to help our wild neighbors.

Conservation journalist Millie Kerr looks at an eclectic mix of current projects considered success stories in rewilding. Kerr examines the possibilities and consequences of rewilding in places such as Mozambique; New Zealand; San Antonio, Texas; Rwanda; Argentina; and China. Limited by Covid restrictions, Kerr depended on her past experiences as well as more recent interviews and deep research. The result is drier and less compelling than I would have liked, but the book does a good job of shedding light on the growth of rewilding and the constantly evolving nature of such conservation efforts. That light-shedding is more important than ever in these times. I would recommend this book to anyone curious about rewilding in any and all its facets.
[Thanks to Bloomsbury USA and NetGalley for an opportunity to read an advanced reader copy and share my opinion of this book.]

I knew very little about rewilding efforts before reading this book and was excited to dive into the topic. However, despite my interest in the subject matter, I found the book to be a little hard to get through. I think shorter, more focused and organized chapters may have helped me read, learn and retain the wealth of information overviewed by this book.

Overall, I would still recommend this book to anyone interested in conservation and new to the concept of rewilding.

(Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury for the advanced reader copy.)

A good read, a bit rough around the edges but still an educational and informative read about how different countries are trying to rewild their dwindling environments.

Rewilding animals is much tougher business than I realized, and this book sheds light on the hard but important process. I particularly liked the chapter where islands were used to regrow flightless bird populations - I never thought about the fact that you can (theoretically) keep predators off islands. Wilder is an important read for anyone interested in animal conservation.

I first heard of rewilding about 10 years ago. I suspect it will be a widely known term in the next 10-20 years, and I hope the world has as much success with it, fall the benefit of all creatures on the planet. I'm a little excited about the idea and practices of it. Recommended.

I really appreciate the free ARC for review!!
