San Antonio Zoo and Meryl Streep team up for new documentary

How it works: Rewilding aims to restore ecosystems by protecting wild areas, reducing human interference and allowing nature to regulate itself.

• The zoo's Texas Horned Lizard Reintroduction Project, launched in 2017, has returned more than 200 horned lizards to the wild.
• Its whooping crane conservation program dates back to the 1970s.

What they're saying: "Rewilding is a vital approach to conservation that allows us to restore natural ecosystems and protect these vulnerable species," American Humane CEO and president Robin Ganzert said in a statement.

• "We hope that this documentary will not only highlight the significance of rewilding, but bring together film-goers across the country, and around the world, in support of the humane treatment of animals."

What's next: San Antonio is one of 25 cities where the documentary will be shown.

• Screenings begin Thursday at Santikos Palladium and Santikos Embassy.
