"“Atta!” shouts Seiichi Dejima, of the Nature Conservation Society of Japan
(NCSJ), as he raises binoculars to his eyes. He’s spotted one of a breeding
pair of endangered Japanese golden eagles on a perch, high above, in the 10,000
hectare (25,000 acre) Akaya Forest in Japan’s Gunma Prefecture.
Dejima and NCSJ are executing a rewilding plan to open up meadows by felling
patches of monoculture conifer plantations that will, one day, regenerate with
a natural mixed deciduous forest. The new meadows create space for these
raptors, with wingspans of more than six feet, to swoop down on their prey.
Rewilding is an increasingly mainstream environmental movement to allow nature
to heal itself, sometimes with the aid of humans, to sustainably restore
biodiversity, so wildlife can, once again, prosper in regenerated and protected
wild ecosystems."
