Formosan Clouded Leopard (Subspecies of Mainland Clouded Leopard, not Sunda Clouded Leopard) are extinct today, they can hunt monkeys, deer, robents, and birds there. Today Both Mainland and Sunda Clouded Leopards were listed as Vulnerable today.

I currently work within the state government and my job gives me a sense of purpose and fulfills my desire to help the public and the environment. However, the nonprofit sector has always seemed more flexible in what I want to do— someone please correct me if it’s not flexible.

Rewilding has always been super fascinating for me, especially rewilding nonprofits. I have daydreamed of getting my masters and working for a rewilding nonprofit, but I don’t know what I need to qualify for these positions.

I would preferably love to continue working my gov job to pay the bills and chip away at a masters or some sort of education. I am interested in many fields- env. Education, ecology, conservation, env. Communication- but I have heard if you want to qualify for NP jobs you need NP education or experience.

Does anyone work in a NP that could give tips? Qualifications for field work jobs? Could any coursework do for a NP job (masters, bachelor level, certificate)? Any recommendations for fields of studies for rewilding? Appreciate you all thanks!

Hi friends!

My team & I are producing a rewilding and conservation wildlife documentary based in the Forest Of Dean this month.

On a reconnaissance mission, I went exploring the area in prep for the shoot. I saw boar, deer, sheep, foxes, and a cacophony of birds. Feel free to watch and, subsequently, to follow our doc!

Prosibly some of the best wilderness in Mexico and NA , Maderas del Carmen is surrounded by other protected areas in Mexico such as:

C.A.D.N.R. 004 Don Martín, Ocampo APFF, Cañón de Santa Elena APFF, Río Bravo del Norte Natural Monument.

And on the Texas side:

Big Bend NP, Big Bend Ranch State Park and Black Gap Management Area.

The region has a diverse array of ecosystems that go from low desert to mixed conifer forests, Serrania del Burro (Part of it in the protected area) has one of the highest densities of Black Bears in NA.

​

C.A.D.N.R. 004 Don Martín is divided in two sections, this is the southern one, but is very close.

Carnivores present today in the region.

Some were extirpated like the Mexican Wolf, Grizzly Bear, Jaguar and Ocelot.

This región is already home to several big hervivores.

Bison was brought back in 2019

Benedict McDonald (author and naturalist) talked about a theory/rough plan he had come up with in his book "Rebirding", for an area of dairy agricultural land roughly 10km2 near Glastonbury in Somerset, England. He believed the land was not profitable for the farmers nor the government, and that by introducing beavers and proxies for primeval megafauna (not predators), he could create a habitat that Dalmatian Pelicans could be reintroduced into. Evidence (obviously from a few thousand years back) has been found of these birds in England, and with the nearest populations in Eastern Europe, they have not and will not come back on their own. He went on to say that this wetland could encourage breeding White-tailed Sea Eagles, Otters, Egrets, and other recolonising wetland specialists, as well as creating an eco tourism hotspot in the south-west. Is this an outlandish and ridiculous proposition, or could it be what the UK needs to pave the way for more projects like this?
