The return of large predators might help to reinvigorate nature. But are wild animals like wolves and bears compatible with livestock farming? Will their arrival destroy mountain communities? Unable to decide on the issues, Steve Cracknell climbs up to the isolated summer pastures of the Pyrenees to talk with those most concerned: the shepherds. He also meets hunters and ecologists - and goes looking for bears. In a book of relevance to the rewilding debate in Britain, the author shows how attitudes to the wild are bound up with cultural perceptions. Nobody has a monopoly of the truth.
