Steve Cracknell's latest book looks at rewilding with top predators. Wolves and bears are returning, but many shepherds are unhappy, asking who owns the mountains? It is a question that is being asked all over the world. Who does own the countryside? How is that ownership shared? What are the rights and responsibilities?
The Implausible Rewilding of the Pyrenees looks for answers.

Steve grew up in Yorkshire, England discovering the joys of blisters on the North York Moors. He studied archaeology at Cambridge University and became a field archaeologist, digging in Britain and Europe before trading in his trowel for a computer. Publishing and web design were his next challenges.
Moving to France in 1997, he started walking in the Pyrenees and writing about them.
