Rewilding Britain

Happy #WorldRewildingDay!  Rewilding offers a powerful solution to the interconnected climate and nature emergencies – but it’s a solution we must all work on together.  Rewilding is about more than just restoring nature; it’s about community, collaboration, and collective action.  Together, we’re building a brighter future for nature and us all.

Happy #InternationalDayOfForests 🌳 Innovation Fund recipient Trees for Life are helping trees thrive in the Scottish uplands by developing collaborative and sustainable approaches to managing deer impacts, alongside the Common Ground Forum. High numbers of deer can negatively impact the natural regeneration of trees and without a natural predator to keep their numbers in check, it's crucial that rewilding projects have an effective, well-connected deer management strategy. Find out more about the work of the common ground forum and read about all the latest innovation fund projects via the links in the comments.

Today is World Rewilding Day – a day to celebrate rewilding across the globe. 🌿🌳🦫🦪🌍 We've loved all the stories, photos and videos our members and supporters here in Scotland have shared. We're proud to be part of the global movement for rewilding! @GlobalRewilding We face a stark reality: our country is one of the most nature-depleted in the world. The good news? 80% of people want the Scottish Government to take action. ➡️ Your MSP can help turn this support into real change at Holyrood. If you’re one of the 80%, email your MSP today and ask them to back rewilding. https://lnkd.in/eK_TfNdj #RewildingTogether #WorldRewildingDay #RewildingNation

Rewilding isn’t just about nature – it’s about people, communities, and organisations coming together to create lasting change. It’s about hope, it’s about healing, and it’s about creating a system that works for people and planet.  This World Rewilding Day, we’re reminded that together we can rewild our planet. Whatever role you play, your efforts matter. From the smallest grassroots projects to global collaboration, rewilding offers a powerful solution, and works best when we do it together.

The Scottish Parliament has a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform the Land Reform Bill into legislation that's better for nature AND people 👊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland is ranked 212 out of 240 countries for the state of its nature. To give nature the best chance of bouncing back, we need to enable rewilding, at scale, at speed. There are over 150 rewilding projects already restoring nature across Scotland – but just 2.1% of Scotland’s land is rewilding.  We want to see the Bill amended so that Scotland’s largest estates lay out their plans to restore nature. In a nature emergency it’s not enough to hold the line. With large-scale landownings making up 40% of Scotland, this is vital in helping repair the country's ecosystems. Together with our allies in the The Scottish Rewilding Alliance we want a Scotland where land is owned, managed and used in ways that are fit for the future. We want a Scotland where as many people as possible are working to restore nature. We want a #RewildingNation.  Dig deeper into how land reform legislation interacts with rewilding to help empower people to tackle the nature and climate emergencies – in our briefing paper produced by the Centre for Mountain Studies (🔗 link in comments)  📸 Peter Cairns / scotlandbigpicture

Less than a week to go until World Rewilding Day! 🌍✨ We’re thrilled to see the importance of rewilding being recognised in Parliament. In this clip from Parliament TV, Lord Gascoigne highlights World Rewilding Day and the incredible power rewilding has to not just restore nature across Britain, but benefit people and planet. The theme for this year's World Rewilding Day is #RewildingTogether, reminding us that rewilding isn’t just about nature – it’s about people, communities and organisations coming together to create lasting change. It’s about hope, it’s about healing, and it’s about creating a system that works for all. Together, we can create a wilder, more sustainable future 💚🌳 Watch the clip via the link in the comments 🔗 We can’t wait to celebrate with you all on 20 March 🌱🐾 #RewildingBritain #WorldRewildingDay #RewildingTogether

Wales Rewilding lead James Hitchcock and Marine Rewilding Lead Jacques Villemot attended the One Ocean Symposium in Rhyl yesterday and left feeling energised and excited about the large-scale coastal protection already taking place to protect marine habitats 🌊 Their highlight was hearing testimonials from the community members who are already benefitting; locals reconnected to the sea and learning more about ocean literacy. But there's more to be done – by moving towards nature-based marine solutions and offering long-term funding for coastal communities, we can effectively protect marine life, reintroduce missing species and truly rewild the sea 🙌 Thanks to Marine Conservation Society, Ffion Mitchell-Langford and Ocean and Coastal Futures (OCF) for having us and to Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru / Natural Resources Wales and Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government for supporting this work. #ThingBigActWild #MarineRewilding #MarineRestoration

We're deeply saddened by the news of the oil tanker collision which took place yesterday within two Marine Protected Areas off the coast of Yorkshire. This is an area of huge ecological significance, with possible consequences for nearby oyster reefs, saltmarshes and seabird nesting sites. Our thoughts go out to the emergency response teams coordinating the clean-up efforts – and the Rewilding Network projects and local communities who've been working to restore nature in this region.

A huge congratulations to our partner Green Facilities Management Ltd for achieving their B-Corp certification! 🌱 As an innovative enterprise dedicated to creating healthier, wilder spaces across multiple sectors, they've shown that it's possible to embrace sustainability at the heart of everything they do. Their achievement is proof that forward-thinking companies can help build a wilder, more sustainable future – and it's well worth the effort! We hope their story inspires others to make a lasting impact.
