REWILDING IS
ALREADY WORKING BOTH AMBITIOUS & REALISTIC PRACTICAL HOPE ANCHORED IN SCIENCE MOBILISING THE POWER OF NATURE
We’re Turning the Tide for Nature, Climate & People.Restoring Functional Nature for All.
NATURE’S HEALING POWER UNLEASHED:
SECURING A STABLE & HOPEFUL FUTURE
The Global Rewilding Alliance is a worldwide organisation working with rewilders on every continent to help nature heal itself and secure a thriving future for people, nature and planet.
By initiating the comeback of numerous wildlife species and working hand-in-hand with indigenous and local communities, rewilding is restoring healthy ecosystems. These functional ecosystems capture vast amounts of carbon, provide fresh air and clean water, and stabilise extreme weather - they are vital to our prosperity, survival, and security.
Rewilding provides practical hope based on real, positive action.
Nature possesses the incredible ability to rebound, but it does need our help! Organisations, environmental scientists, policymakers, businesses and citizens, this is our call to unite to create a rich, diverse, resilient world.

PROTECT.RESTORE.REWILD.
WE HAVE 2 GOALS

Mainstreaming rewilding
We are dedicated to translating science into policy and best practice globally. Our goal is for everyone, everywhere, to recognize rewilding as a beautiful, inspiring, hopeful, and most importantly proactive proven solution.

We are building a global movement
Restoring nature’s balance is only possible when supported by people. The Global Rewilding Alliance is a driving force, mobilizing the wordwide rewilding community and uniting people to restore Earth's wild spaces, stabilise the climate, combat mass extinctions, and mitigate the risk of future pandemics.
AND 4 WAYS TO MAKE THEM HAPPEN
1
We Gather Evidence
Safeguarding biodiversity is an essential act to sustain life as we know it. We advance the rewilding movement with world-class science, evidence, and ideas proving that rewilding needs to be at the centre of environmental policy and action.
2
We Advocate For Change
Based on our strong scientific evidence and increased public support, we influence policy and call for the restoration of wildlife populations to be included as a key nature-based solution.
4
We Inspire Communities
We raise awareness on rewilding and share practical hope for everyone. We invite people everywhere to understand rewilding and to participate in this inspiring movement.
3
We Accelerate Rewilders’ Journeys
We build partnerships with organisations and local communities to create the movement for rewilding and ecological restoration. We support our Alliance Partners by helping them connect to one another, learn from each other and work together towards shared goals.
Which feeds back into the first stage, gathering evidence to advance the rewilding movement. And so the cycle continues.
Restoring wildlife and whole ecosystems to reinstate the life-supporting functions of nature. This has the potential to draw down vast amounts of carbon, stabilise the climate and create the better future we all dream of.
