Video recording of a Walking Writers Salon with Adam Weymouth, author of Lone Wolf: Walking the Faultlines of Europe.
Conservation policies across Europe have been encouraging ‘re-wilding’ of landscapes, including the re-introduction for animals that once roamed more freely. Scientists have been tracking such re-introductions, and back in 2011, a wolf left its family pack in Slovenia, crossed the Alps and journeyed across Europe for thousands of kilometres.
Critically-acclaimed and celebrated travel writer Adam Weymouth, chose to follow on foot this wolf’s journey, in part to discover more about the lives of wolves and how they may take to being reintroduced, as well as how they might be welcomed in these wild places by the humans they encounter.
