So much talk about re-wilding in the news. I've never liked the concept as its seems to be a dream in someone's head about what nature does when left to itself.
But the wild - as in lets say 1,000 or 10,000 years ago, just does not exist any more in my opinion. There are 70 million people in the UK which means it doesn't exist. Therefore re-wilding is never truly possible. Either predators are missing that should be there or some element of management is needed (to replace the missing predators). And lets not get into re-introducing the predators, as they would just get shot as soon as the wandering into a town.
Leaving ground to the wild is just not possible. Unless you took 1 million acres, put a fence round it and creating a new eco-sphere (where humans were certainly not allowed in). What do others think?
I'm just fed up of reading about re-wilding.
