Nature has a remarkable ability to heal itself when given the chance. That's the premise behind "rewilding" - a revolutionary conservation approach that seeks to restore ecosystems to their natural state by stepping back and allowing nature to take its course. In "Wilder: How Rewilding is Transforming Conservation and Changing the World", author Millie Kerr takes us on a captivating journey through some of the most ambitious rewilding projects around the globe, from the reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone to the creation of vast, human-free wilderness corridors across Europe.
With a deft narrative touch and a deep reverence for the natural world, Kerr weaves together cutting-edge science, vivid storytelling, and inspiring real-world examples to make a compelling case for this transformative approach to conservation. As she reveals, rewilding isn't just about saving individual species; it's about restoring entire ecosystems to their former glory, fostering biodiversity, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of our planet and the vital role that nature can play in healing itself – if we only let it.
Millie Kerr is an award-winning environmental journalist and a passionate advocate for rewilding. With years of experience reporting on conservation issues, she brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to this groundbreaking book, making her the perfect guide to this fascinating and increasingly influential movement.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
