Rewilding is a form of conservation and ecological restoration that aims to improve biodiversity and ecosystem health by restoring natural processes. In addition, this conservation strategy aims to provide connectivity between natural processes and ecosystem health, and reintroduce apex predators and keystone species.
Rewilding comes down to the conservation of the three C’s–cores, corridors, and carnivores. Interest in rewilding and conservation biology has expanded in the 21st century, and supporters of the strategy include NGOs, individuals, landowners, and governments.
