Resumen de Kestrel manoeuvres in the dark
Here, Jones explains why he had to invent an entirely new form of conservation when he went to Mauritius to save one of the world's most endangered birds. Among other things, he says the lesson is that people cannot turn back the clock on nature. With climate change, reconstructing ecosystems by design will be the only way to save the birds. That is important now is to keep all the component parts--all the species--for rebuilding. He is in favor of rewilding, but it will require more management, not less. This sticks in the craw of purists. What they did in Mauritius is still regarded by many as a failure, even though they now have 300 kestrels, because they continue to manage them rather than leaving them alone.
