Terrestrial rewilding

7.2 Monitoring and evaluation

Effective monitoring and evaluation are necessary to assess the impacts of rewilding and adapt management strategies.

In Module 2, you learned about measuring ecological integrity using the Rewilding Score. The Rewilding Score provides an excellent overview of the condition of an area that can be replicated over time and compared to areas outside a rewilding landscape.

Rewilders often supplement the Rewilding Score with more specific monitoring for ecological changes and socio-economic impacts, using a wide variety of tools and technologies.
