Infos

After a close brush with extinction, the pine marten is making headlines as it recovers its numbers in Britain and Ireland. This book aims to reacquaint us with this enchanting mammal, to appreciate the pine marten's impish charms, and to find ways to sustain it's populations.

---

In his entertainingly light-hearted style Johnny describes in detail what is now known about pine marten ecology and behaviour in Britain and Ireland, and offers some continental insights from further east in the pine marten's range. He explores the different forces driving the pine marten's decline and recent recovery: and considers the conflicts that now test the tolerance of those who live with pine martens once more.

Autor

Johnny Birks has been beguiled by pine martens since his teens. After research and survey work on other mustelids, and a spell working for the Nature Conservancy Council and English Nature, a job with the Vincent Wildlife Trust gave him the chance to work on his favourite mammal. He now works for Swift Ecology and continues to visit Scotland each year to study pine martens.
