"At a time when our mandate to defend biodiversity and reverse the damage of centuries has never been clearer or more urgent, the legacy of helicopter pilot Peter Garden sets a critical example. For decades, he has been part of some of the most ground-breaking bird rescue projects in the world, at some of its most extreme latitudes. From helping to create rat-free havens in Aotearoa New Zealand, the Seychelles, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico and Alaska, to a twelve-year battle to rid sub-Antarctic South Georgia Island of rodents, Garden has teamed up with dedicated international pilots and conservationists to develop eradication strategies that work . This story is part technical manual for future operators, part occasion to share in the sheer bloody-mindedness and perseverance it takes to backtrack on ecological negligence. On South Georgia, the songbirds are back: Southern Wanderer is Peter Garden's testament to the recovery within our grasp."
