Rewilding

    Nature’s on the ropes, bruised and battered by dumb agriculture and dumber economics. But given half a chance, nature bounces back. Ecosystems are resilient and designed to flourish. The most powerful and effective action we can take is to step back and give nature space and time to recover. This is the exciting new practice of rewilding. Protect an area from overgrazing and overfishing and life returns in abundance. Reintroduce top predators – like the wolves brought back into Yellowstone National Park in 1995 – and ecosystems are reinvigorated with biodiversity. How much does it cost? Nature does it for free.
