Defining rewilding for Scotland's public sector: research findings
Main findings of research investigating debates around the term ‘rewilding’, its relevance in a Scottish context, and to propose a working definition of the term suitable for use by the public sector in Scotland
Annex 2. Workshop Agenda
This workshop agenda was circulated to workshop participants. Participants were also given two supporting materials: The rewilding definition and principles based on work by the IUCN CEM Rewilding Thematic Group (RTG) as presented in the 2021 IUCN Issues brief (IUCN, 2021), and a 3-page summary of the evidence review presented in this report.
Workshop: Rewilding in Scotland
Aim: To understand the topic of 'rewilding' as discussed in Scotland, and to identify a definition of rewilding suitable for reference by the public sector in Scotland.
Output: A report for Scottish Government, that proposes a definition of rewilding that builds on both an evidence review on rewilding and key workshop discussion points. Workshop participants will be acknowledged within this report, unless they prefer not to be. Comments within the report will not be attributable to individuals.
