Nature and environment - Conservation - Ecosystem restoration - Natural processes
What is meant by rewilding in conservation?
Correct!
Rewilding seeks to give nature more space and allow natural processes to return. The term rewilding is widely used internationally for this approach. It can include making rivers more natural again, restoring wetlands, or reintroducing animal species that have disappeared. Animals such as beavers, European bison, and large herbivores can themselves help shape their habitats. The aim is not to return a landscape exactly to its original state. Instead, the goal is to develop resilient ecosystems that function as independently as possible.
Rewilding gives natural processes more room so that resilient ecosystems can develop with as little ongoing management as possible.
