Rewilding – A Window Into Wildlife's Natural Rythms

Rewilding offers hope for the future of our planet – by tackling climate breakdown and restoring nature and wildlife, which are so vital to life itself. It embraces people, communities and their cultural and economic connections to the land. As a progressive approach to conservation, rewilding refers to the large-scale restoration of nature, to the point where it takes care of itself again, while taking care of us, as it has done for millenia. It repairs damaged ecosystems and landscapes, while enabling natural processes – counting rivers, weather, animals and plants – shaping both land and sea.

The Global Rewilding Alliance seeks to mainstream the idea of rewilding globally – to reconnect everyone with the natural world and tackle the extinction crisis and climate emergency simultaneously. Their 150-member organisations in over 75 countries are reversing biodiversity loss, supporting diversified economic opportunities and strengthening communities. The GRA is also publishing credible science that shows that rewilding is already helping to draw down million tons of carbon from the atmosphere, with the potential to do much more. The aim is to create positive change worldwide, bringing hope that we can address the climate and biodiversity crisis at the same time, by influencing decision makers to upscale rewilding efforts globally.

Rewilding Britain’s vision is to see rewilding across 30% of Britain’s land and sea by 2030, creating prosperous rural and coastal green economies – and better health and wellbeing for everyone. Its Rewilding Network brings together hundreds of rewilders across England, Wales and Scotland – these include community and local groups, alongside private landowners, charities, farmers and national parks – to inspire and support each other as they create a wilder, more prosperous Britain.
