REWILDING Southern Africa

Rewilding may be considered as an expansive approach to conservation, allowing nature to do what she does best to repair and revitalise habitats. Rewilding is the science of conservation which promotes ecosystem health and the protection of all natural resources, rather than focusing on just a few endangered species. REWILDING SOUTHERN AFRICA will provide an integrated communications platform for a greater understanding and appreciation of rewilding, and how it can revitalise entire ecosystems. REWILDING SOUTHERN AFRICA is an upmarket quarterly publication aimed at conservationists, policymakers and concerned readers for whom conservation and the improvement of natural habitats shape how they live, what they consume, and where they choose to take their rest. Conservation is everyone’s legacy and concern.
