Facilitating “wildness” Humans have encroached upon a majority of Earth's lands. The current extinction crisis is a testament to human impacts on wilderness. If there is any hope of retaining a biodiverse planetary system, we must begin to learn how to coexist with, and leave space for, other species. The practice of “rewilding” has emerged as a method for returning wild lands, and wildness, to landscapes we have altered. Perinoet al. review this concept and present a framework for implementing it broadly and in a way that considers ongoing human interaction.Science , this issue p.eaav5570
