Rewilding, a global movement to restore ecosystems, has ecological benefits like increased biodiversity. But it impacts traditional land use and cultural communities. Positive impacts include aligning with indigenous practices and empowering communities. Negative impacts can disrupt traditional practices. Strategies for a balanced approach involve community engagement and alternative livelihoods. Successful examples include partnerships with indigenous communities in Canada and the UK. In Australia, rewilding projects collaborate with indigenous communities, fostering cultural pride and ecological restoration. In the Northern Rivers, NSW, rewilding efforts align with Aboriginal practices, strengthening their connection to ancestral lands. This restores the ecosystem and cultural heritage.
