“Reconciliation ecology,” a term coined in 2003, aims to increase #biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes. Think of it as #conservation for the Anthropocene.

"We’re not going to save the world with one backyard. But every #garden that supports wildlife, and every person who chooses #habitat over (or in addition to) aesthetics, adds to a growing shift."

"Lakeside rotates its #wetland among its four fields. When a field is returned to production after three years under water, Wenner said, its weeds and pests have been drowned; #soil health has improved; fewer chemical inputs are needed; and the field’s produce can be classified as organic, increasing its value."

“People need more tools in the tool kit to actually mitigate climate change impact,” Dale said.

“It’s us saying, ‘This is going to be a tool.’ It’s been in front of us this whole time.”

"A corridor for pollinating #insects can be successfully grown within #urban constraints. We plant for native #bees and wasps, beetles, butterflies, moths, flies and more. Increasing insects is the start. Then come the birds."

"Across Canada and the U.S., a growing number of shuttered #golf courses are being rewilded.

"At least four courses in California, and a handful of others in the U.S., U.K. and Australia, have been bought by non-profits, cities or land trusts and turned into #nature preserves or #parks in recent years, leading to an increase in #wildlife sightings, plant species and tree cover."

"Advocates for #wolf protection are still fighting to restore the species, but as the wolf expands its territory, resistance to such efforts — or to any restoration of protections — is growing more widespread and more fierce."

Here are all the #books we read and recommended in 2024, all perfectly on topic for anyone interested in learning more about #rewilding and related subjects – or looking to get inspired for a wilder 2025.

For Tchida, seed saving is a natural outcropping of her lifelong exploration of finding ways to support the environment.

“This is such an obvious and easy way,” she says. “The connection you make intrinsically with the plants throughout their whole growth process is so much fun.”

#introductions Hi, we're Rewilding Magazine, an independent publication dedicated to exploring the people, places, ideas and debates connected to the global #rewilding movement. Lovely to be here!

"In what was the UK’s first large-scale attempt to reset a river by reconnecting its waters with the surrounding floodplain, a 1.2km managed section of the river Aller was deepened and filled in.

"It transformed the area and created seven hectares – the equivalent of over 10 football pitches – of waterscapes and wetlands, which those behind the project say are vital for slowing water flow, storing carbon and providing homes for wildlife."

Replacing some or all of your #lawn with native plants and food is one way to support each other and the environment – but it truly does so much more than that.

Here are some significant research-backed and expert-approved benefits you’ll experience when you make the switch.

can be successfully grown within urban constraints. We plant for native #bees and wasps, beetles, butterflies, moths, flies and more.

"Increasing insects is the start. Then come the birds. I want blue wrens, but we need insects first, then we can plant what small #birds need, we can look at people’s front yards, we can build on the foundation."

In 2020, Coloradans voted to reintroduce #GreyWolves to their state. Last year, the first releases finally happened.

Here, expert Joanna Lambert discusses the project and what it means >>

"In 1881, land here was set aside for a reserve forest," writes Sugato Mukherjee.

"In the decades that followed, however, many wrongs were committed, including a devastating decision to run a 1.6-kilometre railway track through the sanctuary, essentially dividing it in half.

"But the latest chapter is one of hope for both the gibbons and their forest-dwelling neighbours – thanks to rewilding."
