In this module, you have learned that rewilding can present significant economic opportunities by generating revenue through nature-based businesses such as tourism and local product sales, which also help build community support. Companies can align their operations with rewilding by offering nature-focused services or products. While this may require upfront investment in skills and infrastructure, it can also create jobs, foster environmental pride, and drive rewilding efforts, particularly in rural areas.

Local economies can benefit from sustainable natural products that support wildlife, but careful management is essential to avoid environmental harm. Nature tourism also has an important role to play.

Rewilding enhances ecosystem services like food production, climate regulation, and recreation. If those who benefit from these services pay for them, it can finance further rewilding. Among the ecosystem services, carbon capture can also be important for financing rewilding efforts. Rewilding helps capture carbon, and selling carbon credits can provide financial support for these initiatives while contributing to climate change mitigation.
