By recovering the ripple effect generated by the interactions among plant and animal species and natural disturbances, rewilding seeks to repair ecosystems by removing them from human engineering and reassembling guilds of megafauna from a mix of surviving wild and feral species and de-domesticated breeds, including elk, bison, and feral horses. Written by two leaders in the field, this book offers an abundantly illustrated guide to the science of rewilding. It shows in fascinating detail the ways in which ecologists are reassembling ecosystems that allow natural interactions rather than human interventions to steer their environmental trajectories.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRewilding\u003c\/i\u003e looks into a past in which industrialization and globalization downgraded grasslands, describes current projects designed to recover self-willed ecosystems, and envisions the future with ten predictions for a rewilded planet. It shows how rewilding is shaking up conservation science and policy, bringing new hope and renewed purpose to efforts to revive essential ecological processes. Color illustrations capture moments of beauty in nature and offer enlightening infographics and visualizations. \u003cbr\u003e Introduction 6\u003cbr\u003eGeological Timeline 10\u003cbr\u003e1 New Horizons 12\u003cbr\u003e2 Megafauna Pasts 22\u003cbr\u003e3 Downgrading our Planet 42\u003cbr\u003e4 Rewilding's Practical Origins 72\u003cbr\u003e5 Cascades, Spaces, Networks \u0026amp; Engineers 98\u003cbr\u003e6 Earth System Impacts 116\u003cbr\u003e7 Rewilding Politics \u0026amp; Ethics 138\u003cbr\u003e8 Scaling up Rewilding 164\u003cbr\u003e9 10 Predictions for the Future 190\u003cbr\u003eSources \u0026amp; Further Reading 214\u003cbr\u003eIndex 218\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments 224Paul Jepson is Nature Recovery Lead with Ecosulis Ltd. and former director of the University of Oxford’s MSc in Biodiversity, Conservation, and Management.
