Reviews

Over the course of three to four decades, rewilding has progressed from a rather obscure concept associated with radical environmentalism to a well-accepted and even mainstream paradigm for comprehensive ecosystem restoration worldwide. This handbook, edited by four founding members of the IUCN Rewilding Thematic Group, is a much-needed overview of the history, theory, practice, and debate surrounding rewilding. - Reed F. Noss, Ph.D., Florida Institute for Conservation Science, Conservation Science, Inc. A much-needed source of information and inspiration for the growing community of people working to help Nature heal, A HANDBOOK FOR REWILDING teaches us how to restore missing species, including large carnivores and other keystone species; reconnect wildlife habitats; expand wilderness and parks; and coexist with all our neighbours, wild and human. 'Rewilding' has taken root and ramified widely in the decades since North American wilderness champions coined the term; and this book -- which will challenge as well as motivate all readers -- shows how the varying branches of work can rewild lands and waters from Scotland to Argentina, from Australia to the Yukon. - John Davis, Executive Director, The Rewilding Institute (rewilding.org) With only 2-3% of land and sea functionally intact, rewilding is as necessary as it is exciting, and presents us with the opportunity to both address the past and current damage done by human 'development' as well as to create a new relationship between ourselves and nature. This book comes at a pivotal time, framing the history, practice, practitioners and promise of the rewilding work that is essential to addressing the twin crises of climate breakdown and the extinction emergency. Rewilding is a pathway to a new and hopeful future. - Magnus Sylven, Co-Director, Global Rewilding Alliance (GRA) and Vance G. Martin, WILD Foundation; GRA; Wilderness Specialist Group (IUCN/WCPA) This book provides rich and diverse contribution to our understanding of the theory, principles and practical application of rewilding from around the world - Rebecca Wrigley, Rewilding Britain
