Notes on re-wilding

I've posted a brief summary of the Donlan et al. re-wilding proposal along with a few suggested discussion questions. I expect to spend about half an hour wrapping up some observations from Wednesday's lecture at the start of class, but I'd like to spend the last 45 minutes or so talking about this proposal.

As I mentioned briefly at the end of lecture on Wednesday, when you first here the proposal, it sounds completely preposterous. After you start to dig into it a bit, though, it becomes less and less easy to dismiss. That's not to say that I agree with it, but it is a proposal that can't be dismissed out of hand.
