So what is rewilding?
Imagine our natural homes growing instead of shrinking. Imagine speciesdiversifying instead of declining. That’s rewilding. Rewilding is ecological restoration.Rewilding offers hope for wildlife, humans and the planet.
Why is rewilding important and necessary?
●Our natural ecologyis broken. The places where you would expect wildlife to exist have been reduced to wet deserts. The seabed has been destroyed and there havebeen no living creatures any more.
● Our wildlife is disappearing.Many wonderful species have declined over the past century. We’ve lost more of our large animals than any European country.
● We need keystone species. These vital species, including top predators (食肉动物), drive ecological processes. Their loss has worsened our living systems.
● Nature looks after us. Good natural ecology can provide us with clean air and water, prevent flooding and store carbon. Rewilding can leave the world in a better state than it is today.
What are challenges?
As a long-term project,our “rewilding britain” has its challenges. Many peopleare not interested, because we have got used to the lack of native forests. Many farmers oppose the idea. They thought it a crazy idea to bring back predators because they would start killing farm animals. It takes time to educate them. Above all, we need money! So we need your help!
