Our guest today, Dr. Caroline Fraser, has written the first definitive account of a visionary campaign to confront ecological crises, entitled Rewilding the World, Dispatches from the Conservation Revolution. Breathtaking in scope and ambition, rewilding aims to save species by restoring habitats, reviving migration corridors, and brokering peace between people and predators.
