Our planet was once populated by megafauna, big top-of-the-food-chain predators that played their part in balancing our ecosystems. When those megafauna disappear, the result is a "trophic cascade," where every part of the ecosystem reacts to the loss. How can we stay in balance? George Monbiot suggests rewilding: putting wolves, lions and other predators back on top -- with surprising results.
Lesson by George Monbiot, animation by Avi Ofer.

  • I absolutely love the ideas behind rewilding! Some current projects I find particularly interesting are the American Pleistocene Park (which is only "talks" now), Siberian Pleistocene Park, and Oostenvarsdersplassen; rather than making humans a "fourth wheel" to the microbes, flora, and fauna it gives us a chance to partake in the sculpting the land and making us part of nature rather than metallic and plastic beings that spy on and exhaust the wilderness. I would love to be able to partake in making a Serengeti with elephants, bison, and other megafauna.

    @Zootycoonman223@Zootycoonman22310 жыл бұрын

    • While I am a great supporter of rewilding as well, I wouldn't use Oostenvarsdersplassen as a great example of it. While many creatures were added to the wilderness, they forgot one very important detail: predators. Without wolves, bears, and lynx to control the herbivore population, the prey ended up limiting the amount of food available. This led to the death of almost all herbivores in the reserve. So, while rewilding is a great solution, we must treat it with great care and research.
