What is Rewilding?

    Rewilding is a conservation approach that prioritizes nature-first, nature-led strategies. Rewilding maximizes relationships and functionality within ecosystems through ecological restoration practices that allow biodiversity to drive balance. Rewilding is completely redefining how humans assess, support, utilize, and coexist with the diversity of life and habitats on Earth.

    While rewilding is historically predicated on megafauna reintroduction, wilderness conservation, and the Three Cs Model- Cores, Corridors, and Carnivores, rewilding in practice is now seen as any net gain of biodiversity- led by average people and scalable to all locals and communities. This discipline can also be applied to people with Human Rewilding and Community Rewilding.

    Providing natural solutions to modern problems, rewilding is locally occurring and globally impactful. This practice has created systematic change in the arenas of conservation, sustainable development, governance, nature-based economies, localism, and more.

    Rewilding is not a cause; it is the restoration of our living world and the transformation of how we live. This is the revolution that we need in our changing, complex modern world.
