I am losing track here since the previous discussion on rewilding seems to have disappeared, but the meaning of rewilding must not be sidetracked down a road that only leads to a project on releasing tigers. It has much, much wider implicatiohns than that, as is reflected in this version of the article - or wikipedia just becomes propaganda for one view. 11:41, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

More reliable references

It seems that there is a misunderstand from a particular user regarding Wikipedia's policies. Wikipedia is trying to become a more reliable site, with its articles having more support from reliable references.

It seems that the previous edit of the Rewilding page based on Rewilding of Endangered Carnivores and Tigers seem to be the most updated rewilding issue everyone is talking about. Furthermore, if one were to really look through the references, we can see that the previous article seems much more supported.

It may seem more one-sided to some, however at least it has good support for its statements and more relevant to today's "rewilding" process.

Support for Dr Caroline Fraser

Dr Fraser is the author of the book entitled Rewilding the World: Dispatches from the Conservation Revolution, published late last year. It would seem that Dr Fraser is sufficiently informed on the current trends in rewidling for her entry to Wikipedia about this subject to have considerable merit. I urge people to think carefully (and do their research) before making any changes.
