Rewilding, which involves restoring natural ecosystems, increases vegetation cover, especially forests, wetlands, grasslands, and peatlands. Plants and soils in these ecosystems absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, storing it in biomass and soil. Healthy soils, fostered by rewilding, are crucial carbon reservoirs. Restoration of degraded soils increases organic matter and thus significantly enhances long-term carbon storage. Rewilding enhances biodiversity, increasing an ecosystem's resilience to climate change. A stable, diverse ecosystem is better equipped to maintain carbon storage in the long term. Rewilding is a long-term strategy carbon sequestration isn't immediate, and maximum benefits emerge over decades. Not all ecosystems sequester carbon equally; forests and peatlands are highly effective, whereas others may store carbon less permanently. Effective rewilding often requires careful planning to avoid unintended emissions, such as uncontrolled wildfires or invasive species domination.
