Its effectiveness depends on a deep understanding of natural processes that build and maintain ecosystems.&nbsp;Long term success depends on minimising any impact previously wrought by humans. However once natural processes take hold, they can take over and run themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s pull focus and look at \u2018micro rewilding\u2019 in your window box or garden.&nbsp;Whether you are renting a flat or a housing developer you can have a significant contribution. Research shows that an ecosystem can be spread out, like a mosaic across a built up area, if there are green corridors connecting them. You need to understand which species naturally occur in your area and support them with suitable plants, bird feeders, gaps in fences etc.&nbsp;And support your local community to create wildlife corridors: in urban areas this could be a line of wildlife gardens or wild areas along footpaths or streams in suburban areas. In the countryside green corridors should look like a whole ecosystem to allow a great range of species to use it: mature trees, ponds or streams and scrub including brambles and nettles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/preview\/1127-17555\/great-spotted-woodpecker-male-winter-feeder-north-rhinewestphalia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1127-17555-1500x1000.jpg\" alt=\"Male Great Spotted Woodpecker at winter feeder.

Rey Benayas<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Conversation<\/a>: As people have migrated from rural areas to cities, large areas of farmland \u2013 especially isolated patches in remote areas \u2013 have returned to nature. Urban areas still only make up 10% of land use.&nbsp; This trend will hopefully encourage all environments, including agriculture and livestock production or residential areas and industry to co-exist with higher levels of biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has been happening in Europe since the second half of the 20th century. Populations of large carnivores such as the brown bear, the Eurasian lynx and the wolverine have all increased in Europe. <a href=\"https:\/\/rewildingeurope.com\/rewilding-in-action\/wildlife-comeback\/wolf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wolves <\/a>have been seen in the wild in every country in Europe now apart from UK\u2026 they total 12,000 but pose very little threat to humans at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Populations of large and medium-sized herbivores, such as the red deer, the wild boar, the roe deer and the Iberian ibex, have also increased.
