'Thought provoking, accessible and beautifully written, it is one of the best accounts I have ever read of the complex relationship between humans and wildlife' - Jonathan Elphick, Natural history author and editor

Today marks the two year anniversary of Rebirding, Benedict Macdonald's visionary and inspiring manifesto for restoring Britain's wildlife, rewilding its species and restoring rural jobs.

‘A wise, thoughtful and very readable series of essays from someone who spent his working life at the forefront of nature conservation, and has now shared his accumulated wisdom with the rest of us.’ —Stephen Moss, author and naturalist

Accepting the award, Macdonald thanked his ‘fantastic, wildlife-minded’ parents, among others, and ultimately dedicated the award to his grandfather who ‘had to go fight a war so that the rest of us could write books like this.’
