The Rewilding Institute
To develop and promote the ideas and strategies to advance continental-scale conservation in North America, particularly the need for large carnivores and a permeable landscape for their movement, and to offer a bold, scientifically-credible, practically achievable, and hopeful vision in the future.
Through public presentations, educational materials, and a website, The Rewilding Institute explains the need for continental scale rewilding - the recovery of top predators and their wild habitats - and outlines the ways to achieve it.
This entire outreach program is essential to encourage effective conservation campaigning and to bolster resistance to attacks on both wild places and conservation law and policy.
Dave Foreman gives presentations to organizations and universities across the nation, inspiring people to act on behalf of wildlife and wildlands recovery. His recent books include "Rewilding North America," covering rewilding and continental-scale conservation in detail; and "Man Swarm and the Killing of Wildlife," emphasizing the enormously devastating effect human overpopulation has on wildlife throughout our planet.
The Rewilding Institute website is designed to serve the whole conservation community as a resource for using science in conservation. The Rewilding Institute was originally incorporated as North American Wilderness Recovery.
