Rewilding Britain (adapted from https://www.rewildingbritain.org.uk/) (Scroll down for the answers)
Today, nature in Britain is ______ serious trouble. More than half of our species are in decline and 15% is threatened with extinction. We’ve already hunted all of our top predators to extinction. Native woodlands cover a mere 2.5% of our land. Life has been torn from our seas ________ meet unsustainable demand.
Conservation has worked hard for decades, with passion and dedication, to save wildlife. But ________ is time to move beyond saving certain species and patches of nature. Rewilding takes a big picture approach, aiming to restore the wider natural processes that support life (for example, grazing, flooding, natural woodland regeneration). It complements existing conservation work and those sectors seeking a better way forward ______ nature, including regenerative farming, marine protection, low impact silviculture, nature tourism and so on.
Nature is a part of us. It’s our life support system: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the energy that sustains _______. We can’t live without it. All plant and animal species play a role. When they disappear, when we disturb natural processes, our life support system starts to stutter and fail.
Climate chaos and the species extinction crisis are two catastrophic examples. They are symptoms of our disconnection _______ nature, the result of actions over centuries that have, unwittingly but sometimes knowingly, undermined our very ability to survive. If we thought we could unshackle ourselves from the source of life, we can’t. We thrive _______ if nature thrives.
Rewilding is an attempt to reconnect and reset, to reverse species extinction and to help nature flourish ________ a large scale. It is a chance to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. Our lives depend _________ behaving differently and embracing nature. We must think big and act wild.
Benefits of rewilding
Draws down carbon from the atmosphere
Helps wildlife adapt to climate change.
Reverses biodiversity loss.
Supports diversified economic opportunities
Improves our health and wellbeing.
