What does it take to rewild a nation? How can restoring nature also regenerate communities and economies? And what’s the future of rewilding as a career path?
Today’s guest is Rebecca Wrigley, Chief Executive and co-founder of Rewilding Britain. With over 23 years of experience in conservation and community development, Rebecca has led Rewilding Britain’s mission to restore species-rich habitats across 30% of Britain’s land and sea by 2030.
In this episode, we explore the principles of rewilding, how Rewilding Britain is empowering landowners and policymakers, and the key challenges and opportunities in large and small-scale nature restoration projects.
