Protecting, Conserving and Rewilding British Native Species. ‘The Bison Guy’
October 3, 2025 at 11:18 AM
This week, with the Large Herbivore Working Group, I am visiting some of the most inspiring European Bison projects in Spain.

A huge thank you to Fernando Morán for guiding us through these landscapes and for sharing both the challenges and successes of the work here.

My office and home for the next few days. Looking forward to If Not Now When, Rewilding conference at Rewilding Coombshead.
It’s so important to meet up with the rewilding community and support each other in our work to restore species and biodiversity.

Argentina reintroducing Jaguars into cattle ranching areas for nature and nature based economies.
We can’t even have lynx.

Closing discussion at the Rewilding Futures conference. Amazing day organised by @CitizenZoo .
Inspirational to hear about international projects… frustrating that U.K. policy has not caught up with modern rewilding.

Large Landscape Nature Recovery in Europe. Inspiring and hopeful messages from Frans Schepers and David Thomas. At the Rewilding Futures conference.

Heading to Cambridge for the sold out Rewilding Futures conference organised by Citizen Zoo. The 450 tickets sold should just how huge the appetite is to learn more about Rewilding and how we make it happen faster at a bigger scale.

Good News for Pine Marten rewilders! This is why we need these wonderful creatures back across England.

"red squirrels increase their numbers significantly within five years of pine marten population recovery"

Amazing rare sunny day yesterday at Purbeck Heath. Wonderful partnership between Natural England, National Trust and RSPB. Big connected landscape with some large herbivores. Huge future potential to make it wilder!

Great to be at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecocology 35th birthday and launch of their E3 project -Sharing Space for Nature.

First post on here.
Hoping to find the community of rewilders and people passionate about and working for nature recovery that used to be so great on the other place!
