The difficulty of reintroducing beavers in the early 2000 has led to concerns over the unintended consequences of 'rewilding'. "The opportunities here are substantial, for our climate, biodiversity, and for a wide range of potential social and economic benefits associated with making Scotland the world's first Rewilding Nation." The rewilding projects of the Department of Conservation have been not only about reintroducing threatened endemic animals, but eradicating introduced species. The Predator Free movement might be New Zealand's best known rewilding project.
