Using information from the primary literature (several references have been provided as a starting point below) please answer the following question: Based on your review of the literature on rewilding, what are the major scientific pros and cons for rewilding? Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly. Recall Nietzche’s famous remark: “It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in whole books – what others don’t say in whole books.” Include a complete set of references, and cite them appropriately in your text, using the style and format of a scientific article. Evidence that student has consulted primary literature beyond that provided in the question itself. Proper use and formatting of citations and references Rewilding pros. In describing each pro, students should state the “pro” as well as providing an empirical example of a situation (study) where the benefits (“pros”) have been realized. In other words, the focus here should be primarily on “pros” for which there is empirical evidence. Rewilding cons. In describing each con, students should state the “con” as well as providing an empirical example of a situation (study) where the costs (“cons”) have been realized. In other words, the focus here should be primarily on “cons” for which there is empirical evidence.
