Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 22 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00096-zFollowing the line of the former Iron Curtain, the European Green Belt links protected areas across 24 countries, and restores key wildlife populations, wetlands and rural livelihoods. Its success proves that rewilding-grounded nature-based solutions can transform war-scarred frontiers into biodiversity-rich, climate-resilient lifelines, and challenges policymakers to replicate such mega-corridors worldwide.

When it comes to reforestation, planting a diversity of tree species could have a plethora of positive effects on forest health and resilience, climate mitigation and biodiversity. That’s based on res...

The vital role forests play in providing habitat for biodiversity, storing carbon and supporting cultures also buttresses global society economically and socially, according to a new report by authors...

Rewilding-inspired forestry reimagines forest management by restoring natural processes to enhance biodiversity, resilience, and sustainability. This approach counters the limitations of conventional ...

Wang et al. analyze two decades of global satellite data to reveal widespread tree cover (TC) homogenization in semi-open ecosystems, particularly in temperate and boreal regions. While TC homogenizat...

Semi-open ecosystems, such as savannas and open woodlands, are biodiversity hotspots due largely to their heterogeneous tree cover (TC), which support…
