Trophic Rewilding: Research, Policy and Practice provides a unique, up-to-date resource for environmental professionals seeking the latest guidance on ecosystem restoration and rewilding. Written and edited by a global team of experts, the book highlights the evidence for trophic interactions that form the basis of rewilding efforts. It demonstrates the importance of such evidence in the development of policy and ground management. Early chapters discuss the scientific, regulatory, economic, and ethical background of trophic rewilding, while latter chapters describe approaches to trophic rewilding in diverse settings and delve into successes and lessons learned from global case studies. With the biodiversity crisis continuing unabated, there are growing calls for new approaches to species and ecosystem recovery in landscapes that have been impacted by human activities. Trophic rewilding is one such approach whereby species reintroductions are used to engender top-down ecological processes and trophic cascades to promote self-regulating biodiverse ecosystems. This book provides the latest updates on the topics presented and is an indispensable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in rewilding projects and programs, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in environmental restoration and management.

Throughout his career, he has played an active role in promoting the value of biodiversity and its importance in the provision of ecosystems services and human wellbeing. From 2015-2019, he acted as Deputy Vice Chancellor for Tropical Environments and Societies. He is Emeritus Fellow of the James Hutton Institute, the largest research institute in the UK specializing in agriculture, environment, and rural development. In recognition of his research contributions, he has also been elected as Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Dr. Adrian Manning is Professor at the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University. He obtained his BSc from the University of Edinburgh and his PhD from the Australian National University. His research expertise is in conservation, reintroduction biology, landscape and restoration ecology. He is Research Leader of the long-term ‘Mulligans Flat - Goorooyarroo Woodland Experiment – a government-university-NGO research partnership aiming to understand ways of restoring critically endangered box-gum grassy woodlands. Through this work, Professor Manning was instrumental in the development of the Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary (mulligansflat.org.au) – a major ecological restoration and community outreach project. A key aspect of his research is the reintroduction of locally extinct species, particularly those that return key ecological functions.
