Abstract

As the world grapples with the urgency of climate change and biodiversity loss, the concept of rewilding has gained prominence as a powerful tool for restoring ecosystems and conserving wildlife. Rewilding aims to reintroduce native species, restore natural habitats, and re-establish ecological processes. While rewilding holds great promise for many ecosystems, it is not without risks, especially when applied to sensitive environments like peatland permafrost. This article explores the potential dangers and challenges associated with rewilding in peatland permafrost areas.
