Rewilding vs Traditional Conservation
Rewilding Approach
- Minimal human intervention once established
- Focus on natural processes and keystone species
- Large-scale landscape thinking
- Embraces natural disturbances and variability
- Restores extinct or missing ecological interactions
Traditional Conservation
- Ongoing active management and intervention
- Focus on preserving current species and habitats
- Site-specific protection strategies
- Controls natural disturbances to maintain stability
- Maintains existing ecological conditions
Core Areas of Rewilding
Cores
Large wilderness areas that serve as the foundation for rewilding efforts, providing space for natural processes to operate.
Corridors
Connected pathways that allow wildlife movement between core areas, maintaining genetic diversity and population health.
Carnivores
Top predators that regulate ecosystems through predation, creating cascading effects throughout the food web.

Our Approach to Rewilding
Data-Driven Analysis
Using environmental data, soil quality, climate patterns, and wildlife corridor information to identify optimal rewilding sites.
Expert Connection
Connecting landowners with ecologists, biologists, and conservation experts to develop tailored rewilding strategies.
Collaborative Implementation
Working with government agencies, non-profits, and private landowners to implement successful rewilding projects.
Community Engagement
Building support through education, economic incentives, and demonstrating the benefits of rewilding to local communities.
Why Rewilding Matters Now
With biodiversity loss accelerating and climate change intensifying, rewilding offers a nature-based solution that addresses both crises simultaneously.
By restoring natural processes and ecosystems, we can create landscapes that are more resilient, support greater biodiversity, and provide essential ecosystem services for human communities.
The United States has vast potential for rewilding, from abandoned agricultural lands to degraded forests, offering opportunities to create a wilder, more connected landscape.
Global Goal: The Global Rewilding Alliance aims to rewild 30% of the Earth's land and oceans by 2030, supporting both biodiversity conservation and climate action.
