The Rewilders

Across generations, the Western world has equated survival with conquering the wild. Today, more than ever, humanity’s future hinges on coexisting with nature. Since 1970, the planet has lost 60% of its biodiversity. The consequences are accelerated global warming and a potential mass extinction event affecting millions of plant and animal species. Yet a nascent solution is taking root: rewilding the planet. By tracing the restoration of iconic species such as the jaguar, elephant, bison, and Pacific salmon, The Rewilders is an intimate, visually arresting short documentary that chronicles pioneering conservationists on three continents, tirelessly driving the global movement of rewilding, one animal and landscape at a time.
