ON SAFARI IN BRITAIN
Fans of BBC Radio 4’s The Archers have been hearing the term ‘rewilding’ in one of the soap’s storylines for some time now. The idea is to restore ecosystems to allow nature to take care of itself, increase biodiversity, reverse global heating and ultimately boost the health of our planet.
Our national parks, areas of outstanding natural beauty and nature reserves already have some elements of protection from human interference. Conservation projects have restored habitats and reintroduced species, wildlife programmes have raised awareness and many campsites are doing their bit to be as eco-friendly as possible.
