Wildlife Returns is a joint programme of the Vinson Centre and Earthmind. The Vinson Centre for the Public Understanding of Economics and Entrepreneurship is an academic think tank based at the University of Buckingham, UK. Earthmind is a non-profit professional association based in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Wildlife Returns programme promotes public understanding of market-based approaches to generating sustainable value from wildlife. This requires transdisciplinary learning and analysis on the ethics, governance, and business of wildlife management. These four short articles set out the original thinking behind the programme:
- Support for the return of wildlife
- Barriers to wildlife returns
- Policies supporting wildlife returns
- Wildlife returns for planet and people
