A collection of inspiring conservation stories for kids looking at rewilding - the process of returning animals and plants to habitats where they once thrived.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Rewilding means returning animals or plants to places where they used to live. In this book, kids will find out about awe-inspiring rewilding projects, including the wolves that returned to Yellowstone National Park and dramatically improved the ecosystem, and the beavers reintroduced to their old territories to build dams and prevent flooding.

In these heartwarming true stories, children will learn how different species evolved to live side by side and will discover what it takes to be a conservation scientist. They might even be inspired to become a wildlife activist themselves!

By the end of the book, they will leave with a key message: it's not too late to fix the planet.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Booklist highlights its thought-provoking and well-designed content, while Children's Literature recommends it as an excellent classroom or library resource to complement science curricula.
