AIBU about rewilding?

I'm in two minds about this and would be interested to know what wise Mumsnetters think. On one hand, I think Titchmarsh is right that "rewilding" probably produces less biodiversity than cultivated beds that are thoughtfully planted, but on the other hand, surely "rewilding" is better for manicured lawns?
So AIBU to think he hasn't entirely thought this through?
