This paper presents results from a grounded theory study of rewilding aims, addressing calls for broad scale studies of rewilding to contribute to the development of guidelines. The grounded theory draws from a broad set of data sourced from rewilding organizations, case studies, and research. Expressions from the data relating to rewilding aims and outcomes were coded. The results demonstrate the intentions for rewilding to affect systemic, ecological, and socio-cultural change. Outcomes to support rewilding aims are also identified. The aims and outcomes are presented under these headings in a social-ecological framework which offers a shared vision for rewilding. The significance of this research is that it demonstrates rewilding's multi-disciplinarity and engagement with systemic or transformative change. It addresses a perceived paradox between rewilding intervention and non-human autonomy, demonstrating that rewilding is not necessarily about removing human influence but affecting coexistence through more-than-human collaboration. A revised rewilding continuum integrating coexistence is proposed.
本文展示了一项关于野化目标的扎根理论研究结果，回应了开展野化大规模研究以推动指南制定的呼吁。该扎根理论来源于从野化组织、案例研究和研究中获取的大量数据。对数据中与野化目标和结果相关的表述进行了编码。结果表明了野化旨在影响系统、生态和社会文化变革的意图。还确定了支持野化目标的结果。这些目标和结果在社会 - 生态框架下的这些标题下列出，该框架为野化提供了一个共同愿景。这项研究的意义在于它展示了野化的多学科性以及与系统或变革性变革的关联。它解决了野化干预与非人类自主性之间的一个明显矛盾，表明野化不一定是消除人类影响，而是通过超人类协作来影响共存。提出了一个整合共存的修订版野化连续体。
