Introducing the Rewilding and Restoration Collection
PLOS ONE and a team of dedicated Guest Editors have brought together a Collection of research showcasing current practical and theoretical approaches to rewilding and ecological restoration around the world. The Collection features a wealth of interdisciplinary research covering systems from forests to wetlands, and addressing issues from species reintroductions to public perceptions. Fourteen research articles are included in the Collection at launch, but more will be added in the coming months, so keep checking back for updates!
PLOS ONE is hugely grateful to all who have participated in this Collection, especially our fantastic Guest Editors.
