"Hard surfaces such as driveways and car parks block water from filtering into the soil. "By removing the pavement, soils can soak up rainwater, which in turn aids in recharging groundwater supplies." www.rewildingmag.com/the-depaving...

“They really seem like the first responders,” says Fischer. “They’re the things that are growing the most rapidly first.” So, whatever these fungi are up to—biologically speaking—likely impacts the rest of post-fire succession and recovery, she says. www.biographic.com/how-fire-fun...

"In just a three-year period, the city converted a degraded swamp into a functioning wetland—featuring a series of ponds, a riverine forest, and a savanna—that stores carbon, controls floods, filters pollutants, and enhances biodiversity." www.biographic.com/the-rwandan-...

“I used to believe the forest’s resources were endless and meant only for our use,” Abiodun says. “But now I realize that if we don’t take action to protect them, future generations may not learn anything about Omo.” www.rewildingmag.com/how-former-p...

The Joy of #Rewilding -- by Kat Tancock of @rewildingmag.bsky.social for @sejorg.bsky.social (edited by me) www.sej.org/publications...

"Start small. Do a little garden bed here or there, and then expand it as you go. You don’t have to do the whole garden all at once. And you learn from it. When something doesn’t work, it gives you the opportunity to put something else in its place." www.rewildingmag.com/its-always-c...

"Lubuk larangan tells a quieter story of #rewilding. Here, rewilding happens not through large-scale intervention but through communities agreeing to limit their activities so natural processes can resume." www.rewildingmag.com/the-most-pow...

There are problems with binary definitions of nativeness “Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, & limited knowledge of species' past distributions” doi.org/10.1002/oik....

This is a wonderful project from @hometreecharity.bsky.social for the restoration of upland native oak forests www.independent.ie/regionals/ke...

"The Swan River project transitioned land that was full of noxious weed into a thriving forest – the biodiversity increase is incredible, all the way from the different microbes and organisms in the soil to the birds in the air, and everything in between." www.rewildingmag.com/rewilding-fo...

In 1980, Devaki Amma met with a life-threatening car accident. Her recovery was slow and excruciating. But, amidst the darkest of the clouds, Devaki Amma found a silver lining – a native #forest she raised and planted with her own two hands. #rewilding www.rewildingmag.com/i-didnt-know...

"There are 14,000,000 square metres of parks, boulevards and golf courses in #Vancouver. Six million of that is lawn. We’ve transitioned 7 percent of that. We'll keep increasing as and when we can." www.rewildingmag.com/the-city-tur...

“Reconciliation ecology,” a term coined in 2003, aims to increase biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes. Think of it as conservation for the Anthropocene. www.biographic.com/love-the-hab...

The Scottish Rewilding Alliance has launched a new Community Rewilding Guide! “More than anything, rewilding means hope. Hope for a liveable future, a wilder world, and thriving communities.” - Steve Micklewright, our Chief Executive. Download the guide 👉

"Rewilding is not just about protecting individual species. It’s about re-establishing the relationships between them, many of which are complex and poorly understood." www.rewildingmag.com/why-rewilder...

"Rewilding helps nature heal—by protecting Earth’s remaining wild places & restoring the life-supporting functions of nature across connected land/sea. It...embraces natural solutions to environmental, social & economic challenges. It also...forces a reconsideration of our role within life on Earth"

"A growing number of scientists are backing laws recognizing that nature has inherent rights and intrinsic value. A group of wetlands scientists wants the critical ecosystems they study to be next." @katiesurma.bsky.social reports for @insideclimatenews.org (via @sejorg.bsky.social)

"Between the program’s inception in 2017 and 2024, these rewilders planted more than 100,000 native wildflowers and grasses and more than 3,000 trees and shrubs for a total of 7,400 habitat gardens – and they’re just getting started." www.rewildingmag.com/these-volunt...

At the University of Saskatchewan Master Gardener program, I remember an instructor saying to make a natural spot in your yard for the little critters and insects. Pile up old sticks, leaves, stalks, dead wood. That was the start of my own “wilding” in my yard. www.rewildingmag.com/let-the-seed...

To find out how to amplify your impact beyond your own front yard – no matter where in the world you live – we spoke with three seasoned @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social Butterflyway Rangers.

This is your sign to kill your lawn and plant native wildflower seeds!

We're saddened to hear of the passing of @savewildbees.bsky.social, from which we learned so much about North American bees. In her memory, we encourage people to read, buy and take inspiration from her books and this interview from 2022: www.rewildingmag.com/how-to-save-...

"Within two years, plant biodiversity at the farm had doubled, according to an analysis of bee pollen. The farm is now a haven for otters, beavers, muskrats, and at least 140 species of birds⁠." e360.yale.edu/features/kla...

“There’s concern from hunters who don’t like the competition for elk,” said Elder. “Some said we should shoot all the wolves, but I said no. Wolves have the right to eat, just as we do.” #wolves #canada #britishcolumbia #rewilding www.rewildingmag.com/the-secret-w...

"Iberian lynx are beacons of hope, the living proof that we can get conservation and rewilding right. The project should be a lesson to all involved in these kinds of projects." Involving a wide spectrum of groups is important, as is getting the local community on board and benefiting it...

“The wetlands are the kidneys of river systems,” she added. “And we’ve disconnected the kidneys from the system here. “We’ve killed the kidneys, so we’re trying to bring them back.” indiginews.com/news/new-wet...

The difference just 4 years can make when land is released from overgrazing. Nothing was planted here: all these native trees, wildflowers, etc, came naturally, along with loads of butterflies, birds, + other animal life. THIS is how we reverse nature loss. #Rewilding 🌍

Meet the pearl-bordered fritillary - a small spring butterfly named for the pearly spots under its wings. 🦋 It thrives in sunny forest clearings but has declined due to habitat loss. With careful woodland restoration, there's hope for its return. 🌳 #WorldEndangeredSpeciesDay #Rewilding #Nature
