Ah phew! 75 years of study of sharks in Greek waters shows NO human fatalities from sharks - zero, NONE, zilch, nonada, cero, صِفْرٌ, 零, nul, Null! Some of our team are sea swimmers and have harboured thoughts about ironic, smug headlines in certain tabloid papers announcing "rewilder eaten by shark"...at last we can relax! Jaws did a lot of damage. Let's relax about sharks and look after them as the vital part of ocean ecosystems that they are. ReShark doing great work in this field, along with Blue Marine Foundation, Blue Alliance Marine Protected Areas, Fundación Rewilding Chile, Conservation Collective, Whale and Dolphin Conservation and many more.

We are official supporters of the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People (HAC)! The HAC is a leading, intergovernmental group of 119 countries united by a shared ambition to implement the global goal of effectively conserving and managing at least 30% of the world’s land and ocean by 2030. 💚 🍀 🐾 By joining the HAC, we will more easily reach out to key governments in Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, North America and Oceania with priority messages, science-anchored information (like on Re-Animating the Carbon Cycle) as well as how implementing a rewilding agenda could contribute to meeting the goal of ecosystem functions and services as part of the 30×30 target. How does this impact our network? 💡 HAC can be an important delivery mechanism to mainstream rewilding, the ACC (like the Climate Wildlife Hotspots), and other concepts globally. ⚡ The 30×30 target emphasises the importance of ecosystem functions and services, which rewilding very much is about. 🕸 Reach to 119 governments to promote a rewilding perspective and its practical work across the world. 🔗 Through the 30×30 Solutions Toolkit, the GRA network can share relevant resources related to Target 3, such as publications, videos, reports, assessments, policy papers, etc. 👬 HAC offers collaboration with supporters for various political and technical events throughout the year. The HAC support agreement gives us global recognition and credibility - we are honoured and excited to become part of the growing network of people around the world that are achieving positive action for nature & people.

How can we unlock the scale of finance for nature recovery and #rewilding that we need? Our friends at Nattergal Ltd - one of our Alliance Partners - are making a great contribution, already having bought and started to rewild three sites in the UK and harbouring international ambitions. We send the whole team, including co-founder and one of our Champions Ben Goldsmith and ex-Global Rewilding Alliance Intern Aliénor de Biolley, our huge congratulations as they close £40 million of investment including from huge insurance company Aviva.

A Colossal Vision: Saving Critically Endangered Species from Extinction 💚⚡ 🦏 How can we protect the world’s most endangered species? 🐾 Is it possible to ‘de-extinct’ animals and plants once they have disappeared from the wild? 💡 And how can we use cutting-edge technologies to assist in #rewilding? These are the questions that Colossal Biosciences and its sister non-profit the Colossal Foundation seek to answer; the Foundation was launched and joined our Alliance on 1st October. The northern white rhino is the most endangered mammal on Earth – only two individuals (both female) remain – and is seemingly destined for extinction. The Colossal Foundation believes it’s possible to save this species and many others from the brink, restoring their populations to rewild the world. With $50 million in funding, the Colossal Foundation aims to halt the extinction crisis through three core focuses: Saving Today’s at Risk Species, Ensuring Tomorrow’s Biodiversity and R&D for Conservation. You can read about the 'How', and meet two other incredible alliance partners, here: https://lnkd.in/eERHWY_f The Colossal Foundation’s work ensures that we retain as much biodiversity as possible, giving us the best chance to return global ecosystems to health. In the words of Colossal’s CEO, Ben Lamm, “Every time we lose a species within an ecosystem, that ecosystem loses stability. Much like a Jenga puzzle, the loss of that species creates an unstable base that is unable to support the structure. De-extinction, species restoration, and species conservation offer solutions to improving the stability of the ecosystem to perform its key function in the global system.” We are all excited to welcome them 💚 #rewildinghope #conservation #deextinction #innovation

Paris is being quietly rewilded. These photos are real, not photoshopped. Which do you prefer? Real transformation is happening in cities that have voted in wise politicians. Thanks Philippe Birker! BTW, will you be our 13,000th follower today? #RewildingHope #GenerationRestoration
