Resumen de Return of the wild

Sara Reardon

  • The sky is purple and the wind is fierce on top of the cliff. David Burney has to shout as he explains what they're looking at. Below them is the Makauwahi Cave, which contains the remains of plants and animals going back thousands of years. It is revealing what the Hawaiian island of Kauai was like before people arrived and where people can find the bones of moa-nalo, the giant flightless ducks that once ruled Hawaii. For millions of years, these plant-eating fowl roamed the islands, taking their pick of the lush vegetation. Here, Reardon discusses how top animals shape ecosystems and some conservationists want to unleash big beasts like elephants and lions to restore the countryside.
