| book description |

From the WINNER OF THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR WRITING ON CONSERVATION FROM THE WINNER OF THE RICHARD JEFFERIES SOCIETY PRAISE FOR REBIRDING: 'splendid' --The Guardian 'visionary' --New Statesman Millions of years ago, before humankind walked the planet, the Earth was abundant with life. Now, in the age of the Anthropocene, human activity has profoundly shaped the planet and its biodiversity - to devastating effect. Remarkably, there remains a handful of remote places on Earth that have survived for millennia without any human interference. Deeply set in remote environments, and hidden from human civilisation, these places offer us glimpses of how the rest of our planet once looked - and what we can learn from their incredible survival. In this inspiring investigation, Benedict MacDonald undertakes a journey to the ends of the Earth - from the oldest rainforest in the world in Borneo to the savannah grasslands of Kenya - to tell a story of the thriving biodiversity that is found in these wild places. Through his work as a conservationist and filmmaker, Benedict uncovers how these environments are preserved - and how, with better stewardship, we can do the same. Combining travelogue and natural history, this book is an extraordinary search for lost worlds - and how we can get them back.
