Extraordinary biodiversity results from “rewilding” an economically-marginal English farm.
Only recently understood: the key role of large herbivores in creating savannah (rather than continuous forest).

Reachable as a day trip from London :) Not sure how interesting it would be for a casual visit, though. Point about cows eating leaves as well as grass was interesting. Maybe that’s what makes Slanker’s better than other grass-fed beef? Savannah rather than plain pasture.

Tempted to get the associated book. I wonder what the minimum surface area of land would be for the rewilding process they describe to work. Also, it’d be interesting to compare the same project on different continents and latitudes.
