Abstract

Rewilding, which focuses on conservation and the reintroduction of keystone species, is a strategy of ecological restoration that has acquired great importance in recent years. Different rewilding approaches have been proposed and a number of projects are being implemented in distinct regions of the world. Based on an extensive literature review, this work identifies and analyses various rewilding strategies, proposals and experiences, as well as their landscape effects. Six approaches and their associated experiences have been identified. All of the proposals, except passive rewilding, focus on the recovery of different species of ecosystem engineer: large carnivores, Pleistocene species, seed dispersal agents on islands and large herbivores extinct since pre-modern times. It is expected that rewilding and its associated wildlife recovery will produce ecological, socioeconomic and perceptual landscape changes. The scope of this movement and its known and foreseeable territorial effects, justifies the need for greater attention from the field of geography.

Author Biographies

  • José Luis Serrano-Montes, Departamento de Análisis Geográfico Regional y Geografía Física, Universidad de Granada
    Licenciado en Geografía (2011) por la Universidad de Granada. Desde 2013, viene realizando su tesis doctoral bajo la dirección del Doctor José Gómez Zotano en el Departamento de Análisis Geográfico Regional y Geografía Física de la Universidad de Granada, en el marco del Programa 6A (Contratos Predoctorales) del Plan Propio de Investigación y Transferencia de esta Universidad. Sus líneas de investigación giran principalmente en torno a la relación entre los animales y el paisaje. En el inicio de su carrera académica, abordó aspectos como el papel de los animales en la percepción y las preferencias de paisaje, habiendo publicado varios trabajos sobre esta temática, entre los que destacan “Fauna in Wetland Landscapes: A Perception Approach” (Landscape Research, 2016) o “Propuesta metodológica para la inclusión de la fauna en los estudios de paisaje. El ejemplo de la playa de Casasola, Málaga (España)” (Boletín de la Asociación de Geógrafos Españoles, 2017). Sin embargo, últimamente su investigación se ha centrado en el estudio de la repercusión de las especies invasoras en el paisaje y en el impacto paisajístico de la fauna a través de los proyectos de resilvestramiento.
