Why Re-wild?
Rewilding involves large-scale efforts to restore nature to a point where it can thrive independently and support human life as well. This process includes rejuvenating ecosystems, natural processes, and reintroducing missing species where suitable.
Rewilding Britain aims to see rewilding efforts thriving across the country, helping to reconnect people with nature, support local communities, and address the climate emergency and biodiversity loss.
