Rewilding. It’s about taking a step back and leaving nature alone.
But, in the 21st century how can it be achieved?
Ben Goldsmith certainly believes it can – and must be done - and he is one of its foremost champions.
It was through tragedy however, after the death of his teenage daughter, Iris, when she was just 15, that, in grieving, Ben found solace and hope through the embrace of nature.
And ever since, he has been on a mission to increase rewilding initiatives throughout the UK and. abroad, and he has his own podcast, Rewilding the World, highlighting the success stories on these shores and around the world.
Ben joins Jim on the latest episode of The Last Salmon to explain how rewilding can help save the wild salmon and some of the practises that need to be put in place for it to happen.
