iWilderi takes readers on a global rewilding journey, exploring innovative and eye-opening projects led by a diverse group of passionate conservationists.bbrbrRewilding is a radical new approach to wildlife conservation that offers rarkable potential. If conservation seeks to preserve what rains and stave off further decline, rewilding goes further, seeking to restore entire ecosysts. It involves a spectrum of conservation options; at one end is a ?passive? approach prioritising ecological restoration ? in essence, leaving land to recover naturally. At the other is what might be termed ?active? rewilding, where habitats are actively restored and keystone species reintroduced to quicken the process of recovery. The stakes are high in active rewilding. Large mammal translocations and wildlife corridors running through densely populated areas are high-risk, high-reward initiatives. br brIn this timely and exciting contribution to a wider conversation about our relationship with the natural world, wildlife journalist Millie Kerr takes readers on a global journey of discovery. She considers the practicalities and possibilities of ecological restoration around the world, while exploring first-hand some of the most ambitious undertakings occurring today, many of which involve species reintroductions in the Global South. iWilder idetails the return of jaguars to an Argentinian national park, the first-ever pangolin reintroduction project in South Africa, and the ways in which giant tortoises are aiding the recovery of ecosysts throughout the Gal?pagos Islands, among many others. brbr At an urgent moment in the international fight against biodiversity loss, Wilder's message is one of innovation and optimism. By focusing on conservation success stories and showing that there are bands of determined conservationists fighting for a better future, iWilder iinspires us all to become part of the solution.brbr
