great thread and this has been one of my obsessions in my column, to point people away from the european example and toward the american one.
One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents.

Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

An "accidentally rewilded" 377-acre UK farm is now home to many threatened species, including turtle doves, warblers, 11 bat species, orchids + butterflies.

Such examples prove how nature can recover when we let it, and that rewilding reverses nature loss. 🌍
