We belong to the land: review of two northern rewilding sites as a vehicle for equity in conservation

Abstract

The current planetary shifts and the redistribution of species require us to rethink nature conservation, both from the viewpoint of forming novel ecosystems and in relation to issues of diversity, historical conservation practices, as well as historical and current injustice. Mainly, this reorientation needs to address the historical errors of mainstream societies that promoted nature conservation for their own benefit, at the expense of Indigenous societies. The article explores two Finnish and Sámi rewilding cases of community-led action. In the end, the research seeks to answer how to negotiate a new co-existence with rewilded sites to achieve a better future.

“…The genesis of the rewilding concept can be traced back to North America, where the term was first coined by Dave Foreman in 1992, subsequently defined by conservation biologists Michael Soulé and Reed Noss in 1998 as a conservation approach predicated upon the principles of 'core zones, corridors, and predators' [47]. In 2004, Dave Foreman expounded upon the notion of rewilding as a conservation strategy, Rewilding North America: A Vision for Conservation in the 21st Century [48]. Therefore, the North American model of rewilding can be summarised in the '3C' framework, which highlights the protection and reinstatement of core areas, corridors, and carnivores [49].…”
