This book is written by our Habitat Restoration (HR) Project Director Prof Tony Martin, it describes our HR work in South Georgia.
The British Birds and the British Trust for Ornithology have rated ‘Reclaiming South Georgia’ 6th in their review of the best bird books of 2016.
Here’s what they say:
“Every year, British Birds and the British Trust for Ornithology get together to review the best bird books to appear during the previous 12 months.”
“The story of this hugely ambitious and challenging project is skillfully told in this book with a highly readable text that has been married with many superb photographs. Having introduced the islands and their importance for birds, the book summaries the huge problems caused by the introduced Brown Rats Rattus norvegicus and then explains how they were dealt with, from the initial planning stages through to completion of the project. The work carried out is already starting to pay dividends, though further checks are required to make sure that the islands really are now completely free of ‘furry invaders’. Proceeds from the book will help to raise funds for this monitoring work, providing an additional reason (if you needed one) for investing in this book.”
