Restoring The Wild. Roy Dennis draws on his life's work as a field ornithologist and wildlife consultant to explore how the British countryside can be restored to its former wildness in Restoring the Wild: Sixty years of rewilding our skies, woods and waterways. Here, Dennis uses his expertise to show how to bring extinct animals back to life in Britain and offer the hope of a wilder future for the island.

The awe-inspiring white-tailed sea eagle was driven to extinction in Britain in Victorian times. Now this immense predator has returned to our skies, thanks to people like Roy Dennis, arguably the driving force behind the UK's reintroduction agenda.
Roy's early work on ospreys helped to restore the Scottish population and led to their reintroduction in England as well. He also spearheaded the reintroduction of the red kite to Scotland and England and worked on the Irish golden eagle project. Now, in what will surely be the seminal book on reintroductions, Roy details the painstaking process of returning these essential species to Britain. He explains the die-hard determination needed to reintroduce sea eagles to the Isle of Wight and the continuing fight to convince people of the benefits of beavers, to say nothing of lynx and wolves. Adjustments will be needed to accept sharing our countryside with large carnivores again, but Roy illustrates all that we have to gain by restoring our nature to balance.
From his first project to reintroduce sea eagles to Fair Isle in 1960s to the current work establishing them on the Isle of Wight including plans for the translocation of 12 more juveniles this summer, Restoring the Wild offers eye-opening insights into the complexities of reintroducing extinct animals to Britain. It also sets out the case for why this is essential for our island's continuing health.

Roy Dennis, MBE is a field ornithologist and wildlife consultant. He has worked in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland since 1959, most notably on the conservation of rare birds and the reintroduction of lost species, such as the white-tailed eagle and red kite. He is a specialist in raptor conservation and reintroductions in the UK and abroad, having been involved with osprey, red kite, golden eagle and sea eagle reintroduction projects, and his satellite tracking studies since 1999 have broken new ground and given great interest to the public via our map-based website. He has long been an advocate for restoring lost mammals to Scotland, particularly beaver and lynx. In 1992 he was awarded a MBE for services to nature conservation in Scotland and in 2004 was voted the RSPB Golden Eagle Award winner for the person who had done most for nature conservation in Scotland in the last 100 years. He is a writer, lecturer and broadcaster.
