Wildity
We believe that the key to coexistence between humans and wild animals lies in clear communication and innovative management tools.
That is why we have developed the Wildity Scale, a scientific tool designed to measure the condition of reintroduced specimens and facilitate crucial decisions for their well-being and survival.
Traditional definitions of “wildlife” do not always fit the reality of reintroduction programs. As more animals return to their habitats, complex questions arise:
The lack of a common language can create misunderstandings and hinder the success of conservation efforts.
The Wildity Scale is a solution to this problem. It is an objective tool that allows us to assess the degree of “wildity” of each animal, considering factors such as its birth, health, and behavior.
This scale is not only an essential management tool for biologists, but also a bridge of communication for educators, policymakers, and the general public.
Unlike a simple dichotomy of “wild vs. non-wild,” wildity recognizes that a specimen can have varying degrees of wild behavior.
The Wildity Scale is not a value judgment, but rather a measurement tool to better understand the status of each animal on its path to successful reintroduction.
It breaks down into three key components →
This refers to a specific condition that a specimen possesses at a given moment.
These are characteristics inherent to an animal's nature, such as its birth, health status, and natural behaviors.
This applies to specimens that are under the supervision of conservation, reintroduction, or population management programs.
