WILDING: THE RETURN OF NATURE TO A BRITISH FARM
Book ID/图书代码： 03635019C00019
English Summary/英文概要： In Wilding, Isabella Tree tells the story of the ‘Knepp experiment’, a pioneering rewilding project in West Sussex, using free-roaming grazing animals to create new habitats for wildlife. Part gripping memoir, part fascinating account of the ecology of our countryside, Wilding is, above all, an inspiring story of hope.
Forced to accept that intensive farming on the heavy clay of their land at Knepp was economically unsustainable, Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell made a spectacular leap of faith: they decided to step back and let nature take over. Thanks to the introduction of free-roaming cattle, ponies, pigs and deer – proxies of the large animals that once roamed Britain – the 3,500 acre project has seen extraordinary increases in wildlife numbers and diversity in little over a decade.
Extremely rare species, including turtle doves, nightingales, peregrine falcons, lesser spotted woodpeckers and purple emperor butterflies, are now breeding at Knepp, and populations of other species are rocketing. The Burrells’ degraded agricultural land has become a functioning ecosystem again, heaving with life – all by itself.
Personal and inspirational, Wilding is an astonishing account of the beauty and strength of nature, when it is given as much freedom as possible.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在《野性》一书中，伊莎贝拉·特里讲述了“克耐普实验”的故事。克耐普实验是西苏塞克斯郡一项开拓性的再野生化项目，利用自由放养的食草动物为野生动物创造新的栖息地。《野性》是一部扣人心弦的回忆录，也是对我们乡村生态的精彩描述，它首先是一个关于希望的鼓舞人心的故事。
伊莎贝拉·特里和她的丈夫查理·伯勒尔被迫承认，在他们位于克耐普的重粘土土地上进行密集农作从经济角度看是不可持续的，于是他们做出了一个惊人的信念上的飞跃:他们决定退一步，让大自然来接管。由于引进了自由放养的牛、矮种马、猪和鹿——它们是曾经在英国放养的大型动物的代表——这个3500英亩的项目在十多年间见证了野生动物数量和多样性的惊人增长。
极为罕见的物种，包括斑鸠、夜莺、游隼、斑点较少的啄木鸟和紫斑蝶，现在都在克耐普繁殖，其他物种的数量也在飙升。伯勒尔家退耕还田的土地又变成了一个正常运转的生态系统，充满了生机——全靠大自然自己。
《野性》是个人的、鼓舞人心的作品，当它被给予尽可能多的自由时，它是对自然之美和力量的惊人描述。（YYW）
