Abstract

Rewilding is increasingly viewed as a process-driven approach to land management that offers an alternative to traditional nature conservation, supports nature recovery, and responds to climate change. However, implementing rewilding in British local authorities can be challenging. This qualitative study explores the challenges and opportunities of implementing rewilding in a British local authority setting, focusing on a local authority in Hampshire. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with professional officers and councillors who influence land management in the council, to understand their understanding of rewilding and the opportunities and barriers to implementing it.

The study found that the local authority favoured rewilding as an option for land management. However, there was a need to develop greater consistency in definition and research-based understanding. The study presents a framework outlining how rewilding could contribute to the delivery of ecosystem services, including combating climate change, positive carbon sequestration, connecting spaces, and increasing the functional and biological quality of land through the adoption of twelve key principles. The research outcomes provide insights into how rewilding could be embraced by other local authorities and offer recommendations for further research at a policy and practice level, with a focus on site-based interpretation.

探索英国地方当局实施野化的情况:克服挑战,最大限度地利用景观尺度管理的机遇
越来越多的人认为,野化是一种以过程为导向的土地管理方法,它为传统的自然保护提供了另一种选择,支持自然恢复,应对气候变化。然而,在英国地方政府实施野化可能具有挑战性。本定性研究以汉普郡的一个地方政府为重点,探讨了在英国地方政府实施野化的挑战和机遇。研究人员对影响该地方政府土地管理的专业官员和议员进行了半结构化访谈,以了解他们对野化的理解以及实施野化的机遇和障碍。然而,需要在定义和基于研究的理解方面加强一致性。该研究提出了一个框架,概述了野化如何有助于提供生态系统服务,包括应对气候变化、积极固碳、连接空间以及通过采用十二项关键原则提高土地的功能和生物质量。研究成果为其他地方政府如何开展野化工作提供了启示,并为政策和实践层面的进一步研究提供了建议,重点是基于场地的解释。

期刊介绍: Landscape and Urban Planning is an international journal that aims to enhance our understanding of landscapes and promote sustainable solutions for landscape change. The journal focuses on landscapes as complex social-ecological systems that encompass various spatial and temporal dimensions. These landscapes possess aesthetic, natural, and cultural qualities that are valued by individuals in different ways, leading to actions that alter the landscape. With increasing urbanization and the need for ecological and cultural sensitivity at various scales, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to comprehend and align social and ecological values for landscape sustainability. The journal believes that combining landscape science with planning and design can yield positive outcomes for both people and nature.
