Re: “Re-wilding”
yeah actually... "re-" from latin "again" or "back/backward" and "wild/wilde" meaning "in it's natural state" would seem to mean "rewild" is a pretty legit word to mean "again in it's natural state"

But wild is from Old English "wilde" meaning "in a natural state". So I'm not sure what you mean. The word "dehumanise" that you used usually refers to a human, as in to remove a humans positive human qualities. So to allow a landscape to return to nature is to return it to the wild (to make natural) rather than to dehumanise.
