Rewilding Players

In this Organizational Directory we provide links to a wide variety of groups (local, regional, national and international) working on various aspects of rewilding and continental-scale conservation.

Rewilding Players Links by Category

These groups are listed under several categories; some are listed in more than one category. Where the group's location isn't obvious from their name, we give the region where the group is involved. Groups generally working on national or international scales are listed first in each category.

This list is not complete. We hope to add groups to it as we become aware of their work. If you would like to be listed in this directory, please send us your website address and a sentence or two describing what you do. The decision to list groups rests solely with The Rewilding Institute. If you no longer wish to be listed or your mission has changed, please let us know.

Wildlife for All

ECOLOGICAL WILDERNESS AREA DESIGN

These groups are applying to varying degrees The Rewilding Institute ecological guidelines on Wilderness Area (or other protected area) selection, design, and prioritization, or are otherwise using continental-scale considerations for protected area design.

The Ecological Citizen is an ecocentric, online journal that is striving to address the central issue of our time: how to halt and reverse our current ecocidal course and create an ecological civilization.

Creating a harmonious, respectful and mutually flourishing relationship with the ecosphere is the basis of such a civilization. This involves preserving and restoring biological richness, ecological complexity and evolutionary potential – as well as the beauty, mystery and integrity of Earth. Nothing less will suffice.

Our publications, full editions or individual articles, are available without charge.
