How “Fire Fungi” Help Put Burnt Landscapes Back Together - bioGraphic
Before plants and animals recolonize after a wildfire, fungi get to work.
“They really seem like the first responders,” says Fischer. “They’re the things that are growing the most rapidly first.”
So, whatever these fungi are up to—biologically speaking—likely impacts the rest of post-fire succession and recovery, she says.

The River Otter's Remarkable Comeback
In North America’s Great Lakes region, river otters are coming back from the brink thanks to decades of effort on both sides of the border.
"As predators at the top of the chain, otters help regulate fish and invertebrate numbers.
"Their presence signals something deeper, too: the water is clean, the system productive, the ecosystem whole enough to support them again."

The Rwandan City Where Wetlands Are Winning
To save its citizens from floods, Kigali is betting big on wetland restoration.
"In just a three-year period, the city converted a degraded swamp into a functioning wetland—featuring a series of ponds, a riverine forest, and a savanna—that stores carbon, controls floods, filters pollutants, and enhances biodiversity."

The rewilding movement needs more art
For people to take action, they need to care first. That’s where creative works can help.
"Creative expression of all types holds a unique ability to capture attention, keep people engaged and make them care.
"And it could be a key tool for motivating people outside of the rewilding movement to get involved."

“It’s always changing, and you just adapt”
This Australian urban gardener has spent the past 14 years transforming her yard into a native-plant paradise that welcomes local wildlife.
"Start small. Do a little garden bed here or there, and then expand it as you go. You don’t have to do the whole garden all at once. And you learn from it. When something doesn’t work, it gives you the opportunity to put something else in its place."

How Lubuk Larangan Is Helping Ecosystems Survive
On Sumatra Island in Indonesia, the practice of lubuk larangan balances immediate human needs with the long-term health of riverine ecosystems.
"Lubuk larangan tells a quieter story of #rewilding. Here, rewilding happens not through large-scale intervention but through communities agreeing to limit their activities so natural processes can resume."

Rewilding for relationship and reconciliation
Project Forest is working with Indigenous communities in western Canada to take on projects with traditional land use top of mind.
"The Swan River project transitioned land that was full of noxious weed into a thriving forest – the biodiversity increase is incredible, all the way from the different microbes and organisms in the soil to the birds in the air, and everything in between."

“I didn’t know I was building a forest”
This 90-year-old woman in India offers a lesson on how small, incremental action can lead to meaningful change.
In 1980, Devaki Amma met with a life-threatening car accident. Her recovery was slow and excruciating.
But, amidst the darkest of the clouds, Devaki Amma found a silver lining – a native #forest she raised and planted with her own two hands.

The city turning lawns into pollinator meadows
In Vancouver, a city-led (and research-backed) initiative is converting chunks of park land into wilder ecosystems.
"There are 14,000,000 square metres of parks, boulevards and golf courses in #Vancouver. Six million of that is lawn. We’ve transitioned 7 percent of that. We'll keep increasing as and when we can."

The Scientist Who Tells Stories Through Botanical Illustration
In using drawing as a way to understand nature, artist and ecologist Hashveenah Manoharan discovered her culture, her history and herself.
"Manoharan uses the visual language of scientific illustrations to tell a different story. Instead of 'objectively documenting' plants and animals, her compositions are about personal history and cultural grief."

Why rewilders shouldn’t forget about fungi
These mostly hidden life forms have a big role to play in rewilding – and need its support, too.
"Rewilding is not just about protecting individual species. It’s about re-establishing the relationships between them, many of which are complex and poorly understood."

The muralist whose art is a conversation with nature
Cole Swanson turns to rocks, dirt and lichen to make murals that highlight what often goes unnoticed.
“Painting the wall brought attention to it,” says Swanson. “It got people to ask questions and to marvel over the incredible beauty of this micro universe, which we often don’t even notice.”

A new film shines a spotlight on the white-tailed eagle
Thanks to 50 years of dedicated effort, the UK’s largest bird of prey is a rewilding success story.
Dedicated groups and individuals have been working hard for 50 years to reintroduce the species – a successful endeavour resulting in a current status of more than 200 breeding pairs in Scotland alone.

The group restoring Colombia’s tropical dry forest – and helping monkeys, too
Conservation non-profit Proyecto Tití is harnessing the power of community to rebuild local ecosystems.
“Most people think of rainforests when they imagine Colombia,” stated Reyes as he handed me a pair of rubber boots, essential gear for the forest hike ahead.
“But this region’s tropical dry forests are just as important – and far more endangered.”
