Rewilding North America?!
Elephants might graze upon the Great Plains, stalked again by lions. Camels might wander parts of the American Southwest. And cheetahs might once again chase after pronghorn antelope.
While I realize that monkeys might also fly out of my butt, I do so love the notion that we might one day be able to trade our global fear of imminent ecological collapse for the much more personal, rational, and managable fear of being eaten.

i have always believed that as a species, our spirituality would be greatly improved by coming down a peg on the food chain.
think of it this way, it'd be our way of "giving back".

For this to happen - huge amounts of land would have to be owned by the entity controlling this rewilding experiment. I call it an experiment because progress has occurred throughout the years to benefit human safety needs. How will this whole rewilding work exactly, can someone explain it in exact detail. We may not like what we hear but we want to know anyway. It already sounds like a bad idea to me.
