Our Rewilding Network of more than 1000 members are repairing ecosystems, returning missing species and creating employment and education opportunities. But we still need to grow – and at pace – if we're to achieve rewilding at the scale needed for lasting change and a wilder future.

Do you ever feel frustrated with those in power? Just 1% of Britain is currently rewilding. Because policies, laws and funding don't provide the right support. But with your help, we can change it. Together, we can unleash the power of rewilding at the pace and scale we all need.

Did you know that European wildcats could return to Devon? 🐾
These fascinating cats have been absent in south west England for over a century but a two-year study has concluded that reintroducing wildcats to mid-Devon is feasible — and that most local people are positive about the idea.

Over the past decade, we’ve campaigned, advocated, and led ground-breaking research to ensure rewilding is recognised by UK and devolved governments as a vital solution to the nature and climate crises. Today, rewilding has moved from the political fringes into key government policies.

Ten years ago, it was hard to imagine that we’d see storks over Sussex, pine martens in Bannau Brycheiniog, wildcats in the Cairngorms, bison in Kent and beavers in London. Their return is thanks to bold rewilders trying new approaches, and tireless campaigning by charities and NGOs.
