"To be effective, conservation must be guided by a vision that is bold, scientifically credible, practically achievable, and hopeful." -Dave Foreman

Rewilding is the process of protecting and expanding areas of strong biodiversity to protect keystone or umbrella species so that all other flora and fauna those species depend upon are also protected with enough habitat to sustain the network.

Where to learn about Rewilding:

The Rewilding Institute headed by Dave Foreman is a good place to start. With Fellows like Michael Soule, an originator of Conservation Biology, Brian Miller, conservation biologist for the Denver Zoological Foundation, Dave Parsons, a key driver in the Mexican Wolf Reintroduction Program in the Southwest, and Dave Maehr an Aldo Leopold Leadership Program fellow, Ocelot Recovery Team co-leader for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, chair of The Wildlife Society's Certification Review Board, a member of the Border Cats Working Group, and the Eastern Cougar Foundation's board of directors, these leaders are pointing the way to conservation's future.
