Study warns rewilding in rich countries may shift farming pressure to biodiversity hotspots in poorer nations.

A new study from the University of Cambridge warns that rewilding efforts in wealthy countries like the UK could unintentionally harm biodiversity in poorer regions. By reducing farming and forestry in affluent areas, pressure may shift to developing nations in Africa, Asia, and South America, where production increases could harm biodiversity hotspots. The study calls for a more global perspective in conservation policies to prevent these unintended negative consequences.
