Rewilding is a large-scale conservation strategy based on the reintroduction of wildlife and extinct species into their original habitat, with the goal of restoring natural processes, increasing biodiversity and limiting human dominance in ecosystems. The concept originated in the US but during the last two decades has also gained considerable traction in Europe and worldwide. Rewilding probes the current boundaries of coexistence between human and natural habitats and envisages a long-term future of more healthy ecosystems with human-nature interactions based on mutual respect.(1-5)
