Instead of rigidly <a href="https://www.ecoreef.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">preserving habitats</a> in stable states, wilding focuses on promoting natural processes and ecological functions. It’s about working with nature in a dynamic, open-ended way, rather than dictating what a space should look like. Here are the key aspects of wilding:</div><div style="clear: both"><br /></div><div style="clear: both">Hands-Off Restoration: Wilding embraces a “hands-off” philosophy. Instead of micromanaging ecosystems, we allow natural processes to unfold. This approach benefits <a href="https://www.ecoreefproject.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">both biodiversity and society</a>.</div><div style="clear: both"><br /></div><div style="clear: both">Ecological Functions: Wilding isn’t just about creating more space for nature. It’s also about soil restoration, flood mitigation, water purification, carbon sequestration, and pollination.</div><div style="clear: both"><br /></div><div style="clear: both">Cost-Effective: By aiming for self-sustaining ecosystems, wilding reduces the need for constant human intervention. Over time, managers can step back and let nature take the lead.</div><div style="clear: both"><br /></div><div style="clear: both">Positive Environmentalism: Wilding recognizes the ecological crisis without dwelling on the past. It <a href="https://www.ecoreef.co/2023/12/ecoreefs-and-agriculture-cultivating.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encourages participation</a>, inclusivity, and investment in a wilder future.</div><div style="clear: both"><br /></div><div style="clear: both">All Scales: From roadside verges to large landscape projects, wilding can happen everywhere. Every effort to restore natural processes counts.</div><div style="clear: both"><br /></div><h2 style="clear: both">What Wilding Is NOT</h2><div style="clear: both"><br /></div><div style="clear: both">One-Size-Fits-All: Wilding encompasses various approaches. Landscape-scale projects, herbivore reintroduction, and predator management are all part of the bigger picture.</div><div style="clear: both"><br /></div><div style="clear: both">Limited to Reserves: Wilding should happen everywhere
