摘要: 1. Rewilding, here defined as "the reorganisation of biota and ecosystem processes to set an identified social-ecological system on a preferred trajectory, leading the self-sustaining provision services with minimal ongoing management," is increasingly considered environmental management option, potential for enhancing both biodiversity services. 2. Despite burgeoning interest in concept, there are uncertainties difficulties associated practical implementation rewilding projects, while evidence available facilitating sound decision-making initiatives remains elusive. 3. We identify five key research areas inform future initiatives: increased understanding links between actions impacts; improved risk assessment processes, through, example, better definition quantification ecological risks; predictions spatio-temporal variation economic costs benefits; identification characterisation likely social impacts given project; facilitated emergence comprehensive framework monitoring evaluation projects. 4. Policy implications. Environmental legislation commonly based "compositionalist" paradigm itself predicated preservation historical conditions characterised by presence particular species assemblages habitat types. However, global change driving some ecosystems beyond their limits so that restoration benchmarks or modern equivalents may no longer be option. This means current policy context could present barriers broad To progress agenda, appreciation opportunities constraints required. This, together clear scientifically robust rationale its local implementation, prerequisite engage governments revising where required facilitate operationalisation rewilding.
