After having worked with Miguel B. Araújo in a European overview about the utility of wild areas, I remembered to merge some of the general information in a didactic text (in portuguese) in Naturae Digital.
In summary, the post:
defines and locates wild areas globally;
highlights their value in respect to biodiversity and functionality of planetary processes (hydrology, meteorology and climatology);
criticizes the absence of wild areas within the major biodiversity and climatic agendas (until now),
presents an oportunity window for the recognition of wild areas in the future political agendas that are now being designed; and
explains the importance of particular phylosophies in nature restoration, which aim to reach self-maintainance of such systems under distinct assumptions and management principles- rewilding.
