The rewilding success story of the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT). EWT has been paving the way for large-scale and connected rewilding across Southern and Eastern Africa; we want to take a moment to spotlight the work of this inspiring and longstanding Alliance Partner. Dive into the work across their 9 priority Strategic Conservation Landscapes as well as their guiding Future Fit Strategy 2025-2050.

Australia is home to some of the most unique and fragile ecosystems on Earth, making its biodiversity essential for local landscapes *and* for global climate stability and resilience. Bush Heritage Australia and other partners are demonstrating how rewilding at scale—through science, Indigenous knowledge, and long-term collaboration—can restore degraded ecosystems, protect species, and strengthen planetary systems. Despite its global importance, Australia receives limited conservation funding, highlighting the urgent need for international investment, partnerships, and solidarity. Protecting and restoring Australia’s wild places is not simply a national priority but a global responsibility, with ripple effects that shape the future of people, nature, and climate worldwide. By learning, sharing, and investing in these rewilding initiatives, we can all play a part in protecting Australia’s wild legacy—and in turn, safeguarding our shared future.

Together with our Alliance Partners, we have listened to people. We have listened to: farmers and fishers who are seeing the abundance return in their lands and waters; landowners, neighbours and volunteers that are witnessing the joy of nature’s recovery; and many people working together for a wilder world. We have brought these voices together into a visual document – Rewilding Together; Stories from the Field – and now we will let them speak for themselves.

As we draw near to the end of this wild year, we are taking you on a journey around the world to celebrate the remarkable strides made in rewilding.

In the far south of Mozambique, on sub-Saharan Africa’s east coast, lies a designated area known as Maputo National Park. Combining protected land with a marine reserve, and sitting within a landscape-scale transboundary conservation project, it exemplifies the holistic approach that is needed to address the global biodiversity crisis. It has also been the site, during the past couple of decades, for one of the more remarkable cases of nature’s revival – a story of healing in the wake of war.

Surrounding the freshwater Lake Jipe in Kenya, that teems with wildlife of all kinds, the local elephants graze the reeds alongside the local village fishermen, having made their daily walk directly through the village to get there. Elephants and humans coexist peacefully here.
As our Alliance Partner, Save the Elephants, was conducting their insightful research on elephant behaviour, they uncovered this unique coexistence between humans and elephants. Their work is essential to understanding the core of rewilding: the involvement of local communities.
As socioeconomic pressures rise, the importance of nurturing this positive mutual coexistence is key to effective conservation and rewilding efforts. The story holds insights for projects that are restoring wildlife around the world.
