Is rewilding too wild? Assessing the benefits and challenges of forest succession on abandoned land in the mid‐hills of Nepal by Nicola McGunnigle, Douglas Bardsley, Ian Nuberg, Bishnu Hari Pandit

“…Although the processes of rewilding and regenerating forest are largely synonymous, language such as ‘wild’ and ‘wilderness’ is associated with negative experiences of human–wildlife conflict and invasive species, suggesting the term ‘rewilding’ poses more challenges with regard to forest transitions than ‘regenerating forest’. …”

Adapting to change: exploring the distribution dynamics of the alien and potentially invasive aphid species Cinara curvipes (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in the context of global warming by K. Wieczorek, A. Bugaj-Nawrocka, B. Borowiak-Sobkowiak, A. Endrestøl, H. P. Ravn, W. Solarz, R. Durak

“…This study investigates the potential ecological niche and distribution of the Nearctic bow-legged fir aphid, Cinara curvipes, an alien and potentially invasive species, across Europe. Utilising climate modelling based on climatic preferences in its native range, we assess the suitability of European climates for facilitating the spread of this aphid. …”

Best practice mechanisms for biodiversity conservation law and policy by Callum Brockett, Katie Woolaston, Felicity Deane, Fran Humphries, Ethan Kumar, Amanda Kennedy, Justine Bell-James

“…However, the law is necessary to regulate the human-environment interactions that form the basis of the drivers of extinction and biodiversity loss, including land-clearing, the discharge of greenhouse gases and the introduction of invasive species. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the literature specifically on biodiversity conservation law, to review and describe the commonalities in laws and legal systems that can be considered successful, or unsuccessful. …”
