We can bring nature back

Rewilding is the large-scale restoration of ecosystems so that nature can recover, regulate itself, and provide the benefits all life depends on. It is a defining solution for our time.

By restoring wildlife, reviving natural processes, and empowering local communities, rewilding strengthens biodiversity, stabilizes the climate, and builds resilient economies.

We are catalysing the Global rewilding movement

Rewilding is a journey towards a more biodiverse, wild future where dynamic ecosystems are resilient, self-sustaining and abundant, providing many benefits to all living things.

Together, we are embedding rewilding into science, policy, and practice worldwide.

Protecting the best. Rewilding the rest.

Rewilding reawakens landscapes and regenerates the web of life from cities to the wildest places on the planet, offering nature’s own solutions to our greatest environmental, social and economic challenges.

Rewilding in action

Rewilding Superpowers

From capturing carbon, providing clean water, buffering against droughts and floods, to creating new economic opportunities – rewilding is a key solution to the multi crisis we face.

Science & Evidence

Rewilding addresses the climate crisis. Our work with Yale School of the Environment since 2021 has established strong scientific foundations showing that healthy populations of wild animals help draw down dramatically more carbon.

Working Groups

We are connecting partners around key rewilding themes such as Wetlands, Rangelands and Climate to influence global awareness, policies, and decisions that ultimately shape national and local rewilding agendas.

Rewilding Policy

We advocate rewilding as the bridge between biodiversity and climate; to integrate wild animals into NDCs and show rewilding as a powerful climate-policy option.

Choose Our Rewilding Future

We envision a world where restored lands and seas support abundant wildlife, resilient ecosystems, and thriving communities.

And it’s already happening.

Across continents, our partners are proving that nature can recover — faster and at greater scale than many believed possible.

Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative are rewilding Kazakhstan’s vast steppe ecosystem – including leading the dramatic rebound of the Saiga Antelope from fewer than 50,000 to well over four million animals, making it one of the largest and most successful rewilding efforts on Earth.

This remarkable rebound has been driven by wildlife crime prevention, species reintroduction, and advanced surveillance technology to establish new protected areas. Supported by national and international collaboration, this is a great example of restoration at an extraordinary scale.

Fundación Montescola recognises that some of the most effective firefighters don’t carry hoses or wear helmets. Instead they graze the hillsides on four legs: Galician wild horses are emerging as unlikely heroes in facing increasing wildfires.

Just one year after Sooty Terns’ nesting sites were cleared of invasive species by Island Conservation on this atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, life is buzzing again! Nature rebounds if we allow her to, often faster than we imagine. Turn on sound for full effect.

Many rewilding success stories are unfolding across the world, right now. Discover more:

Rewilding is rewriting the history of nature’s loss

Rewilding is this very positive thing that engages people in our movement and gives some practical hope built on credibility and on sound science.

Rewilding is such an optimistic vision, and it explains one of the great benefit of groups like the Global Rewilding Alliance who keep rewilding hopeful and bring together so many people around the world doing these fantastic things – that’s that feeling of connectedness that ties us all together.
