383: Derek Gow Is Turning His Farm Into an Ark for Lost Species
“We’re at a point in time where all the big animals are gone, apart from the ones we wanted to hunt… we’ve now created an environment that is so hostile that even small animals can’t survive.”
You might not be aware of it, but the UK is experiencing a wildlife crisis. Ecologist Derek Gow joins us this week to talk about what we ought to do about it and how he’s trying to rewild the country with his farm-turned-wildlife breeding center. Gow wrote the bestselling Bringing Back the Beaver and will soon release his latest book Birds, Beasts and Bedlam: Turning My Farm into an Ark for Lost Species.
