Rewilding, at its core, is not a one-size-fits-all endeavour; its success depends on a range
of factors from local ecological dynamics to socio-economic considerations, and it follows
that there is a need for grounded, context-specific approaches. The case studies presented in
this Research Topic provide a nuanced lens through which to explore the interplay of
variables unique to each rewilding project. By focusing on specific examples, researchers
and practitioners can glean invaluable insights into what works, what doesn’t, and more
importantly, why rewilding was the chosen approach. This provides us with essential
knowledge for steering future rewilding projects.
