	Letting Bison return to the grasslands of the Great Plains has been shown to be a highly effective way to restore depleted and devastated lands. A nearly three decade study<Ref>https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2210433119</Ref> was conducted at the ‘Konza Prairie Biological’ (KPBS) in Central Kansas comparing vegetation among sites with Bison, Cattle, and a control group with neither animals present. The results indicate a substantial 86% to 103% increase of native plants species richness and cattle had modest increases around 30% to 41% increase. Sites with Bison were also more resilient to extreme drought, increasing species richness post-drought whereas Cattle sites resulted in no net change at the end of the study.

			<Blockquote>It may not be clear precisely what rewilding is and foresters may feel they've been doing for some time what rewilders claim as theirs. However, whatever the reasons for the apparent lack of interest in rewilding amongst forest scientists, there seems substantially more to gain from participating in the contemporary debates than from ignoring them or letting them go on unchallenged. The emergence of rewilding to date manifests itself as another instance of the common problem of disciplinary and sectoral divisions - between two areas, forestry and conservation, that are profoundly interlinked and should be closely integrated. Moving forward it appears critical for forest scientists to engage more strongly and directly with rewilding, following the lead taken by some practitioners as noted here. The language of rewilding has considerable potential to bring foresters, conservationists and other stakeholders closer together - through recognising overlap and enabling conversations about shared goals. Rewilding can provide a conduit and framing via which foresters – often simplistically identified as commercial and production oriented – can demonstrate and explain their long-standing conservation efforts and achievements. It can refresh analysis of and debates around alternative silvicultural systems – such as continuous cover forestry - that can foster the ecological complexity and autonomy demanded by rewilding.<Ref>Dandy, N., & Wynne-Jones, S.

	Rewilding is the process of allowing ecosystems to return to a more natural state specifically with their original native plants, animals, microorganisms etc. In the past few years rewilding has gained popularity with many scientific journals reporting about rewiliding alongside material rewilding projects popping up across the world. Rewilding first ~~began being mentioned~~ and proposed in the early 1990's and 2000's by academics and activists in so-called North America.<Ref>Dandy, N., & Wynne-Jones, S. (2019).

	Early conceptions of rewilding were rooted in western conservation practices, which viewed rewilding as leaving "nature" to be "wild" without the influence of humans. An early example of a rewilding proposal is wolves being reintroduced into Yellowstone Park. This early examples is emblematic of early rewilding proposals, because they would mostly focus on reintroducing carnivores to their original habitats.<Ref>Dandy, N., & Wynne-Jones, S. (2019).

The role of humans is evident in the fact that the majority of biodiversity on the planet is concentrated in Indigenous stewarded areas.<br>		Early conceptions of rewilding were rooted in western conservation practices, which viewed rewilding as leaving "nature" to be "wild" without the influence of humans.
