Abstract

Rewilding and de-extinction are strategies being adopted globally to address an urgent need for biodiversity protection and nature restoration. These strategies require immense funding to finance nature restoration and biodiversity enhancement, and forms of accounting and assurance are required to discharge accountability for the effective use of these funds. This study explores accounting, accountability, assurance, financing and governance for biodiversity protection and nature restoration, focusing on rewilding and de-extinction.
