We need a step change in financing nature recovery including rewilding, if we are to significantly restore biodiversity, mitigate the impacts of climate change and ensure a sustainable future for food production. Here’s our Rewilding Britain report recommending how this could be done.

Great to see Penny Green & the Knepp team talking about white stork success! Breeding success had been off the scale this year with 50 chicks! Thank you for bringing them back to our countryside! Available on iPlayer and the segment starts at 17.07: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
Brilliant day out at Newtondale in North York Moors with Forestry England Wilding team. One of their Big 4 rewilding sites - with E. Kielder, Wild Purbeck and Neroche - totalling 8000 ha rewilding. Non-native conifers to be removed and natural regen of native species will follow.
Thanks to KeepitWild 🍃💚🍃 NickVineyArtist and Derek Gow for organising a hugely inspiring and informative #rewilding weekend. Absolutely brilliant to bring everyone together to focus on the monumental task of nature recovery - we have a lot of work to do!

Data can be a game-changer for #rewilding, showing its impact on nature and society 📈 In our new blog, #RewildingBritain Researcher Dr Sahran Higgins uncovers how monitoring reveals amazing changes in biodiversity, habitats and more across Britain: rewildingbritain.org.uk/blog/monitorin…
We stand with Beaver Trust: it's in everyone's interests to get a clear policy on wild beaver releases in England! On rewilding sites beavers have brought amazing benefits from flood mgmt to more biodiversity - but families are outgrowing enclosures. (1/2) theguardian.com/environment/ar…
