For rewilding to become a mainstream approach to addressing the biodiversity and climate crises we must understand the relationship of people with the process and its implications. This session draws on detailed empirical insights from the wildE case study landscapes that have provided practical opportunities to understand how rewilding can be understood and valued. It also addresses policy, social and economic implications of rewilding including the costs, economic implications and how to overcome conflicts associated with rewilding.
