Pronghorn Fawn

Caption

This pronghorn fawn looks as alarmed as some people were when early advocates of rewilding proposed bringing in cheetahs and other exotic large mammals to recreate Ice Age ecosystems in North America. Since then the rewilding concept has developed into a pragmatic, science-based approach for reorganizing damaged ecosystems that cannot be restored to their former conditions, mainly because of extinctions and climate change.
