Climate smart rewilding by prof. Liesbeth Bakker. Rewilding can offer nature-based solutions to climate change impacts. Liesbeth addresses the newest developments in climate-smart rewil- ding and gives examples of the results in Dutch rewilding sites, in par - ticular wetlands. Liesbeth Bakker is a professor in Rewilding Ecology at Wageningen University and senior researcher at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology.
