A couple of British teenage boys have set out to rewild Britain with reptiles and amphibians. Beaver are now returning to the country and with them, wetlands.
The beaver have been absent for hundreds of years and much has been lost. With the return of wetlands many birds could return, but the frogs and turtles that are part of that picture are not there any more.
Harvey and Tom are serious about breeding reptiles and amphibians for release into the returning wetlands. They have funding and they are building facilities. They have had reptile experience and they have determination to see this through.

This is an incredible thing. These two young guys could actually be part of restoring habitats that have ben gone for centuries. I can't wait to hear about actual releases of frogs and turtles.
