《2025年一本英语五合一必刷题高中人教版》

It's mid - summer when I make my way down an overgrown road toward Derek Gow's former farm. The drive leads past freshly cut fields.
Gow's land wouldn't have looked so different a few years ago, but today it bears little likeness to his neighbors'. As we speed off, he points out ponds dug during the previous winter, where he plans to release rare native pool frogs. The surrounding fields are filled with wildflowers where Iron Age pigs have turned over the soil. Driving across a stream, we startle three wild Konik ponies(小马), sending them galloping(飞奔) across the hills.
Gow's efforts to return this former sheep farm to a place of biodiversity have made him a poster child(代表人物) of the rewilding movement. But his real passion lies in bringing back lost species—the animals and plants that once lived in Britain but, over centuries of hunting, farming and countless other human interventions, have been erased from the landscape.
He's played a key role in restoring species like water voles, white storks and—perhaps most famously—Eurasian beavers to England. He raises glowworms and turtle doves, too.
“The reality was that, when we were farming here, we killed everything,” he says. “We're not going to change the world by doing what we do now. But we're going to set an example of how it can be done.”
His latest project is about wildcats, which he hopes will soon again wander in the woods of Devon, a county in the south of England, just as they did more than 100 years ago. He and the local wildlife trust are in the middle of a practicability study to show that the animals, whose only wild population in Britain is now found in the Highlands of Scotland, can coexist peacefully with humans in the south of England.
“We never had any right to ensure that things like wildcats should not be here,” Gow says. “It's a process of restoring a past wrong.”
