Rewilding

REWILDING & NATURE

Rewilding is a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. It involves restoring ecosystems by reintroducing native plants and animals, and removing human interference.

This not only helps to sequester carbon but also creates habitats that support biodiversity, protect nature and increase resilience to the impacts of climate change.

The Earth is our only home, and we have a responsibility to protect it for future generations. By embracing rewilding, we can restore balance to our natural world and secure a healthier future for all living beings.

Why should we care?

Our planet is home to millions of species that contribute to the functioning of ecosystems, including our own. Nature provides us with clean air and water, food, medicine, and many other resources that we depend on for our survival and wellbeing.

Healthy ecosystems play a crucial role in mitigating the impacts of climate change by sequestering carbon, reducing the severity of natural disasters, and providing us with natural solutions for adaptation. Protecting and restoring nature can also have positive social and economic impacts, such as improving public health, creating jobs, and supporting local communities. By protecting nature and embracing rewilding, we can create a more resilient planet that supports all living beings and ensures a sustainable future for generations to come.

Facts and figures

More than 1 million species are at risk of extinction due to human activities, including deforestation, overfishing, and climate change.

One in four species of mammals and one in eight species of birds are at risk of extinction due to habitat loss, overexploitation, climate change, and other human impacts.

The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. More than one in seven native species face extinction and more than 40% are in decline.
