Noteworthy > POV #2
– “The Abstract Wild” by Jack Turner
– The Rewilding Institute http://rewilding.org/
– Rewilding is large-scale conservation aimed at restoring and protecting natural processes and core wilderness areas, providing connectivity between such areas, and protecting or reintroducing apex predators and keystone species. Rewilding projects may require ecological restoration, particularly to restore connectivity between fragmented protected areas, and reintroduction of predators where extirpated.
