Pleistocene rewilding is the advocacy of the reintroduction of extant Pleistocene megafauna, or the close ecological equivalents of extinct megafauna. [1] It is an extension of the conservation practice of rewilding, which aims to restore functioning, self-sustaining ecosystems through practices that may include species reintroductions.
An example of how this may happen is through by-catch.These new species will outcompete the native species and take over, therefore causing the local or global extinction of a species. [32] Due to the fittest animals in the species being hunted or poached, the less fit organisms will mate, causing less fitness in the generations to come.
Rewilding is informed by science, traditional ecological knowledge, and other local knowledge. Rewilding is adaptive and dependent on monitoring and feedback. Rewilding recognizes the intrinsic value of all species and ecosystems. Rewilding requires a paradigm shift in the coexistence of humans and nature. [2]
