The great British river : a guide to our waterways and river wildlife
Perks, Jack2026
Books
Our rivers are home to a myriad of Britain's most iconic species, including brown trout, mayfly, kingfisher and beaver, and for centuries they have provided us with a place to explore and relax. Not only do they provide a habitat for wildlife, they're also a crucial resource for drinking water, farming and transportation. However, a combination of relentless pollution, failing water management and climate change have had a devastating effect. There are currently no rivers in the UK with a 'good' ecological status, threatening the species that depend on them to survive. In this book, freshwater specialist Jack Perks explores the fundamentals of our rivers: the habitats they supply, how they transform on the journey from source to estuary and why certain species are suited to them. Discover ways to enjoy your local waterways and wildlife, as well as what can be done to help protect them.
