We cover the full spectrum of ecological restoration — from the return of apex predators to the science of soil, from ocean rewilding to the economic case for letting nature recover. Every topic includes the latest news, peer-reviewed research, and practical guides.
The science, controversy, and extraordinary ecological impact of returning wolves to landscapes across North America and Europe — and the trophic cascades that follow.
How one species is rebuilding rivers, restoring wetlands, preventing floods, and improving water quality across Britain, Europe, and North America.
Species whose presence or absence shapes entire ecosystems — from sea otters and wolves to fig trees and elephants. Why some species matter more than others.
Restoring kelp forests, seagrass meadows, oyster reefs, and whale populations — and what ocean recovery means for climate, food security, and biodiversity.
Living soil is the foundation of every terrestrial ecosystem. How rewilding restores fungal networks, carbon storage, and the invisible biodiversity beneath our feet.
Parks, gardens, verges, and green roofs — how cities are becoming habitats. Practical approaches to ecological restoration in human-dominated landscapes.
A growing number of states now bar HOAs from banning native gardens and xeriscaping, after a $100,000 legal fight in Maryland. Which states protect you, and what still doesn't.
Every organism leaves a genetic trace. eDNA lets scientists detect species from water, soil, and air samples without ever seeing the animal -- and it is changing how we monitor rewilding at landscape scale.
Connecting fragmented habitats so species can move, disperse, and maintain genetically diverse populations — from garden fences to continental-scale corridors.
The second leading cause of global biodiversity loss. How invasives spread, the ecosystems they disrupt, and the management strategies that work — including a six-part pathways series.
Flying insect biomass down more than 75% in protected areas over 27 years. Why the insect apocalypse matters, what is driving it, and what rewilding can do to reverse it.
What biodiversity actually is, why it's collapsing, and why rewilding — by restoring ecological relationships rather than just protecting individual species — is uniquely positioned to reverse it.
How natural ecosystems capture and store carbon dioxide -- and why protecting and restoring forests, peatlands, and coastal wetlands is one of the most powerful climate strategies available.
Mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass meadows store two to five times more carbon per hectare than tropical forests -- and they are disappearing faster than any other ecosystem on Earth.
Exceptional carbon storage, storm protection, and fish nurseries in one ecosystem. The science behind mangroves as a triple-benefit nature-based climate solution.
Wetland loss has already added over $10 billion to US flood insurance claims. How floodplains and wetlands work as infrastructure, and what floodplain reconnection is doing to bring that capacity back.
Ecotourism, flood defence, carbon markets, and rural employment — the verified evidence that nature is infrastructure, and that rewilding can outperform conventional land use.
How a planning requirement to leave nature measurably better than before is turning habitat restoration and rewilding into a funded, regulated land use.
A commitment by 190+ countries to protect 30% of land and ocean by 2030 — and why rewilding is one of the most effective ways to help get there.
The hidden rewilding frontier — restoring groundwater systems, cave ecosystems, and karst landscapes that support unique biodiversity and filter water for millions of people.
The invisible foundation of every functioning landscape. How aquifers, springs, stygofauna, and subterranean hydrology shape surface ecosystems — and why rewilding depends on restoring them.
Browse peer-reviewed rewilding and ecological restoration research filtered by topic, species, and region. Updated regularly with new papers.
A six-part series examining the mechanisms that move invasive species across landscapes — from horticulture and recreation to global trade and climate change.
The complete guide to rewilding — what it means, how it works, the principles behind it, and how it differs from conventional conservation.
The hidden ecosystems beneath our feet — restoring cave biodiversity and karst hydrology, the most overlooked frontier in ecological restoration.
