SUMMARY - Rewilding, Restoration, and Regeneration Projects
Across degraded landscapes, ambitious efforts are underway to restore what was lost. Wolves return to Yellowstone. Beavers rebuild wetlands in Britain. Forests regrow on abandoned farmland. These rewilding and restoration projects aim not just to preserve what remains but to recover what's been lost—to bend the curve of biodiversity decline back upward. The results are sometimes remarkable, sometimes disappointing, and always instructive about what ecological recovery requires.
