Synopsis

In the 21st century, as our planet faces unprecedented environmental changes, the concept of “rewilding” has emerged as an important approach to conservation. This book, "Rewilding the Anthropocene," explores rewilding, which aims to restore ecological processes and create self-sustaining, wild ecosystems in a world largely shaped by human activity. Rewilding involves reorganizing ecosystems by reintroducing species, allowing natural processes to resume, and minimizing human intervention. The book discusses the core principles of rewilding, including restoring trophic interactions, promoting landscape-scale connectivity, allowing natural disturbances, and engaging local communities. It also addresses the challenges of conservation in the Anthropocene, the era defined by humanity's significant impact on Earth's systems. These challenges include habitat loss, climate change, human-wildlife conflict, and the need to integrate diverse values and goals in conservation efforts.
"Rewilding the Anthropocene" provides a comprehensive overview of rewilding, tracing its historical and conceptual foundations, discussing the ecological theory and science behind it, and presenting case studies from around the world. The book also delves into the social, cultural, and ethical dimensions of rewilding, as well as its policy implications and potential role in the future of conservation. By examining rewilding's capacity to bridge the gap between environmental problems and conservation responses, the book offers a vision of hope for restoring wild landscapes and halting biodiversity loss in the Anthropocene. It emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and critical assessment to effectively implement rewilding and achieve its goals.
