    I absolutely love the ideas behind rewilding! Some current projects I find particularly interesting are the American Pleistocene Park (which is only "talks" now), Siberian Pleistocene Park, and Oostenvarsdersplassen; rather than making humans a "fourth wheel" to the microbes, flora, and fauna it gives us a chance to partake in the sculpting the land and making us part of nature rather than metallic and plastic beings that spy on and exhaust the wilderness. I would love to be able to partake in making a Serengeti with elephants, bison, and other megafauna.

    • @vicenzostella1390
      @vicenzostella1390 2 года назад

      While I am a great supporter of rewilding as well, I wouldn't use Oostenvarsdersplassen as a great example of it. While many creatures were added to the wilderness, they forgot one very important detail: predators. Without wolves, bears, and lynx to control the herbivore population, the prey ended up limiting the amount of food available. This led to the death of almost all herbivores in the reserve. So, while rewilding is a great solution, we must treat it with great care and research.

    It's worth noting that Chalk Downland habitat harbours some of the greatest biodiversity found in the world, often described as European rainforest. Up to 40 species of plant in a single square metre, which cascade benefits to other fauna. The UK itself has around 50% of the worlds Chalk Grasslands. Since the continuous settlement of humans in the UK, the vast swathes of Chalk Grasslands present for most of this time, were created and maintained as a man-made, waste product of people farming the land extensively with sheep. Sheep were introduced to the UK by humans and their grazing behaviours, as an alpine grazing animal, created an artificial alpine environment for species rich Chalk Downland.

    There is another man who gave a talk on how grazing herds were vital for the health of grasslands. When you get rid of the antelope and buffalo the prairies and savannas deteriorate and erode. Herds of domestic cattle in grazing through the land can actually restore it, in the absence of wild herds.

    Cool concept, and I'm glad that it made the specification that rewilding shouldn't be an excuse to push people off of their own land. It can happen gradually from voluntary movements away from farms over time.
    Of course, this video implies that these wildlands are a sort of beautiful paradise, when in reality, you wouldn't be able to actually see most of the effects of it, since it would be too dangerous to go into completely untamed wilds, at least not without weaponry. But if people started shooting their way past the bears, wolves, and other dangerous animals in order to see what they wanted, the wildlands would fall apart again.
    So, really, the video is proposing setting aside land that is off-limits to humans. Could be a really good idea with benefits in the long run, or perhaps just a sentimental waste of resources. It's an interesting proposal, though.
