Hacia lo Salvaje I Viajes Naturaleza Ecofeminismo146. Rewilding: Cómo Restaurar la Naturaleza y Transformar Nuestro Futuro¿Te has preguntado cómo podemos devolverle la vida a la naturaleza?
En este episodio de Hacia los Salvaje, exploramos el rewilding, lo que podríamos traducir como renaturalizar, resilvestrar o resalvajar en español, una de las estrategias de conservación más innovadoras, ilusionantes y esperanzadoras.
Y es que tal y como explica Cristian Moyano, filósofo y experto en ética del rewilding, este enfoque busca “regenerar ecosistemas funcionales, autónomos y con mayor biodiversidad, con una intervención humana mínima.”
En otras palabras, se trata de devolverle a la vida salvaje lo que le hemos quitado para que prospe...2025-01-1552 min

英语每日一听 | 每天少于5分钟第2315期:Rewilding: letting nature come back to lifeHumankind has developed so much that urban sprawl and intensive agriculture now dominate our landscapes. Unfortunately, with that comes the threat of climate change and a loss of biodiversity. What if we could return these landscapes to places that teem with wildlife, with ecosystems thriving as they did centuries ago? Since the 1980s, the concept of rewilding has increased in popularity. But what exactly is it, and what are the keys to its success?人类已经发展得如此之快，以至于城市扩张和集约化农业现在主宰着我们的景观。 不幸的是，随之而来的是气候变化和生物多样性丧失的威胁。 如果我们能让这些景观恢复到野生动物丰富、生态系统像几个世纪前那样繁荣的地方，结果会怎样呢？ 自20世纪80年代以来，野化的概念越来越受欢迎。 但它到底是什么？其成功的关键是什么？Put simply, rewilding is a technique that returns landscapes to a wilder, more natural state. It often involves reintroducing plants or animals that used to live there, but now don't. Not-for-profit organisation Rewilding Europe says rewilding is "about letting nature take care of itself, enabling natural processes to shape land and sea, repair damaged ecosystems and restore degraded landscapes."

That is rewilding. Across the world, landscapes and species are making a return. This includes the Southern White Rhinos of South Africa, the Bengal Tiger and Asiatic Lion of India, and the wolves of Yellowstone National Park. Europe also has become the forebearer of the rewilding movement, with various megafauna making a comeback from the brink, including brown bears, wolves, beavers, and bison.

While human, anarchic rewilding has been around just as long as conservation rewilding, they often seem to be at odds–especially when it comes to the support of state institutions. Which is no surprise. Often times conservation efforts are state sponsored, leading to displacement of people in the name of resource conservation rather than creating regenerative systems of land management.
