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.
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] A paper was published in 2024 that offered a "broad study of rewilding guidelines and interventions." [31]

Species reintroduction is the deliberate release of a species into the wild, from captivity or other areas where the organism is capable of survival. [1] The goal of species reintroduction is to establish a healthy, genetically diverse , self-sustaining population to an area where it has been extirpated, or to augment an existing population .

“The mountain lion is one of Oklahoma’s most elusive and discussed wildlife species,” according to the ... also called cougars, are considered a “Species of Greatest Conservation Need ...
The word ‘rewilding’ entered the dictionary in 2011, [3] with its definition greatly contested from the start. [4] Initially, it was defined as releasing captive animals into the wild, but the definition was soon expanded to describe the reintroduction of animal and plant species to habitats from which they had been excised.
