RETURN OF THE OYSTERCATCHER (HB)

Across the world, scientists, conservationists and ordinary people are involved in groundbreaking work to restore billions of lost birds. From a tiny island off the coast of Maine to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, to a hereditary estate in England, the deep Carpathian Mountains in Romania and a watery wilderness in Ukraine where air-raid sirens scream at night, birds’ fortunes are being reversed. Because a world that works for birds, in all their complexity of movement and ecological need, will work for everything else – including us.
