Rewilding
Rewilding has recently and controversially been advocated as the optimal strategy to restore biodiversity in both Northern Europe and North America.
It has become a divisive issue in conservation, involving prominent scientists, and attracting much media and political attention. What exactly is rewilding though? Much of the debate is clouded by vagueness and ambiguity. We are working on a review to be published through the British Ecological Society to provide a succinct and critical overview of the various guises of rewilding.
