What on Earth is Rewilding?

According to David Attenborough, we must 'rewild the world', but what does 'rewilding' actually mean?

WHAT IS REWILDING?

Rewilding is basically going to any nature-depleted place and giving it a helping hand until nature can thrive on its own.

It's essentially just helping nature do its thing.

REWILDING EXAMPLES

• Turning a disused car park into a woodland
• Creating legit marine protected areas
• Reintroducing animals like beavers into areas that need them
• Turning barren land into a nature trail

THE NONSENSE HYSTERIA

There is a lot of nonsense hysteria around rewilding - claiming it's all about getting rid of farmland or reintroducing wolves.

But really, rewilding is a massively positive thing.

WHY?

Because wild places are epic to explore.

They are beautiful.

And (the big one) they are essential to having a liveable planet - our economies, our health, and the health of our planet depend on nature.
