Wolves
With different degrees of success, wolves have returned to the central Rocky Mountains of North America and much of northern Europe.Wolves help keep deer and elk populations under control, which can benefit nature.
Seeds
By rewilding your garden, balcony, or window boxes, you can help native plants and animals! Choose the seeds that are friendly to bees and butterflies. Ask an adult where you can plant the seeds. Perhaps you can try a sunny spot in your garden or a small pot on your balcony. Every little bit helps!

Rewilding our world
All around the world, clever humans have reintroduced plants and animals to certain areas where they used to live naturally. Actions both big and small help. Here are some success stories.
1. How do you understand “Actions both big and small help”?
2. Why should we “rewild” plants and animals instead of “protecting” them as we do in the zoo?
3. What did people do to rebuild the planet?
Discuss and share
Work in groups and discuss the following questions. Then, share your ideas.
Talk and plan
Work in groups. Talk about what we can do in our campus to help rewild plants and animals and make a detailed plan.
Report and share
Report and share your plan. The other groups should listen and ask some questions.
Hello everyone! Our group is excited to share our plan with you.
First, we plan to start a small garden in a sunny corner of our campus. We will plant seeds that are friendly to bees and butterflies, like sunflowers and marigolds ... Second, we want to put up “Love Plants and Animals” signs around the campus ... Also, we plan to build some birdhouses ... We really hope our plan can make our campus a better place for plants and animals.
Let’s enjoy
Every little bit helps!
