Expansive farmlands in Europe and elsewhere are either already abandoned or projected to become abandoned. Afforestation on these abandoned farmlands is highly popular, but it only addresses the climate crisis, not the biodiversity emergency. An alternative to afforestation is rewilding, which would contribute to combating both the biodiversity and climate crises while also facilitating socio-ecological sustainability by increasing ecosystem resilience.
欧洲及其他地区的广袤农田要么已经被废弃，要么预计将会被废弃。在这些废弃农田上进行造林非常普遍，但这只解决了气候危机，而非生物多样性危机。造林的替代方案是荒野化，这将有助于应对生物多样性和气候危机，同时通过增强生态系统恢复力促进社会生态可持续性。
