About the Film

Cedar Creek

The Rewilding Map

Produced by Nitin Gadia

Just as we use maps for planning and navigation, the rewilding map is an indispensable tool for establishing wildlife cores and corridors. It reveals potentials otherwise unseen, with the areas that are most suitable for expansion and creation of core and corridor habitats. More easily than ever, people can know where to look and where they would then walk and assess the land in person.

WHO WE ARE

BeWildReWild is a loosely-knit group of volunteers with a passion for wild things. It is also a special fund for the purpose of exploring three questions: What do you/we mean by wild? What lifestyle changes are needed for us to live within the bounds of sustainability? How can we create a wilder, more beautiful, more biologically diverse, and a more enduring Mississippi River Watershed?
