Increasing numbers of animal and plant species are becoming rare, or even extinct in the wild. In an attempt to re-establish populations, species can – in some instances – be re-introduced into an area, either through translocation from existing wild populations, or by re-introducing captive-bred animals or artificially propagated plants.
2017 Gold, Best Guided Tour of the Year, Beautiful South Awards [51] The Knepp Wildland project is recognised as a Verified Conservation Area (VCA) and is a member of the Rewilding Europe Network. [50] Outstanding example of landscape-scale restoration in the UK Government's 25 Year Environment Plan. [52] [50]
Rewilding enables the return of intact, large mammal assemblages, to promote the restoration of trophic networks. [4] This mechanism of rewilding is a process of restoring natural processes by introducing or re-introducing large mammals to promote resilient, self-regulating, and self-sustaining ecosystems.
Each year they rescue roughly 5,000 wild animals, from badgers and otters to swans and birds of prey. [1] They rely greatly on the work of their volunteers, with volunteer response drivers located across Somerset, Bristol, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon and South Gloucestershire who are all trained to bring in a variety of different British wildlife.

By 2014, as many as 100 wild Mexican wolves were in Arizona and New Mexico. The final goal for Mexican wolf recovery is a wild, self-sustaining population of at least 300 individuals. [3] In 2021, 186 wolves were counted in the annual survey, of which 114 wolves were spotted in New Mexico and the other 72 in Arizona.
Pablo’s herd continued to grow and range wild along the Flathead River. [29] By the early 1900s, the Pablo-Allard herd was said to be the largest collection of the bison remaining in the U.S. [ 30 ] Pablo was notified in 1904 that the government was opening up the Flathead Reservation for settlement by selling off parcels of land.
Animals that would serve as predators of these equine species would include lions and wolves. [34] Alongside the wild horse, camels evolved in the drier regions of North America. Although camelids are extinct in North America, they have survived in South America until today: the guanaco and vicuña, and domesticated llama and alpaca.
