## Resource

The UK has lost more of its wildlife than almost any other country. So, for some, the return of sea eagles, beavers, wild boar and pine martens is a rare and uplifting conservation triumph. For others, this wildlife resurgence represents a threat to rural livelihoods and an erosion of countryside traditions. So, how much wild are we willing to live with? And who gets to decide? In Episode #1 of At the Edge, host Peter Cairns speaks to expert guests who each shine a light on the social, cultural and political barriers facing Britain's wildlife comeback.
