From the top of the food chain down: Rewilding our world - George Monbiot

Our planet was once populated by megafauna, big top-of-the-food-chain predators that played their part in balancing our ecosystems. When those megafauna disappear, the result is a "trophic cascade," where every part of the ecosystem reacts to the loss. How can we stay in balance? George Monbiot suggests rewilding: putting wolves, lions and other predators back on top -- with surprising results.

Lesson by George Monbiot, animation by Avi Ofer.

I absolutely love the ideas behind rewilding! Some current projects I find particularly interesting are the American Pleistocene Park (which is only "talks" now), Siberian Pleistocene Park, and Oostenvarsdersplassen; rather than making humans a "fourth wheel" to the microbes, flora, and fauna it gives us a chance to partake in the sculpting the land and making us part of nature rather than metallic and plastic beings that spy on  and exhaust the wilderness. I would love to be able to partake in making a Serengeti with elephants, bison, and other megafauna.

Beautiful animation and narration. I am grateful for these TED-Ed videos, we are fortunate to live in a time with such accessible and engaging content!

i almost cried as a student studying landscape architecture/ super insightful and touching. Rewilding! what a fabulous and excited name and concept!

[ashishsram]

Sketches in motion...amazing concept, beautifully portrayed!

[koriw]

This was wonderful! But one thing could have been better: the sound department could have figured out their volume level. It sure would have been nice if we didn't have to turn up our volume all the way up... But otherwise, splendid job folks!

I'm so glad you guys made a TED-ED Cartoon for Rewilding. I really enjoyed George Monbiot's Ted talk

Why doesn't this guy do voice-overs most of the time

[umaybusra]

It is a very meaningful content that expresses that life and nature can be restored to us humans. Thanks for your hard work 🤍

[squigglylines]

lol at 3:40 that guy scratches his butt after scaring that man who hugged the tree

[truedeadandlife]

I can see this as an archive video seen over a hundred years from now. "Now that was called wildlife and nature, children!"
