Rewilding

Rewilding is an approach to conservation that allows ecosystems to restore themselves.

重新野化是一種保育方式，讓生態系統自行復原。

Rather than managing every detail, conservationists step back and let natural processes take over.

保育人士不再事事親自管理，而是退後一步，讓自然過程接手。

In some projects, species that had disappeared from a region are deliberately reintroduced.

在一些計畫中，曾從某個地區消失的物種會被刻意重新引進。

Large animals such as wolves or beavers can transform an entire landscape.

狼或河狸之類的大型動物可以改變整片地貌。

Beavers, for example, build dams that create wetlands and reduce the risk of flooding.

例如，河狸築壩，從而形成濕地並降低洪水風險。

Supporters argue that rewilding is both cheaper and more effective than traditional methods.

支持者認為，重新野化比傳統方法既便宜又有效。

Farmers, however, sometimes worry about predators threatening their livestock.

然而，農民有時會擔心掠食動物威脅到他們的牲畜。

Successful projects therefore depend on cooperation with local communities.

因此，成功的計畫有賴於與當地社區的合作。

When handled carefully, rewilding can benefit both people and wildlife.

如果處理得當，重新野化對人類和野生動物都有益處。
