The concept of rewilding is relatively new, and whilst it offers great potential for reinvigorating conservation, it is currently defined and approached in several different ways. This is limiting the application of rewilding for ecological conservation and functional restoration. The goal of the Rewilding Thematic Group (RTG) is to synthesise and streamline the theory and practice of rewilding at an international level, from all perspectives and across all regions. We will achieve this through a sharing of experience within the wider (and growing) rewilding community and disseminating information to IUCN members and beyond.
