Welcome the 2024 Annual Review of the Global Rewilding Alliance Secretariat.
A year of consolidation.
Institutionally, the Secretariat set up itself as an Association in the Canton of Geneva hosted by the International Institute of Sustainable Development (IISD) – an award-winning independent think tank focusing on climate change, natural resource use, and the economy.
With a Board of six people from six countries: Switzerland, Netherlands, Chile, Zimbabwe, Bahrain, and Slovenia, and a leadership team based in Austria, Switzerland, and the UK, we are now fully equipped to expand our work thematically and geographically.
The year 2024 saw a leap forward in terms of building the Alliance. A dedicated team ensured that the 50 new organisations felt welcome and got integrated in the collective efforts of the GRA. This is the largest annual growth since the Alliance was formed in November 2020.
We hope that you enjoy exploring some of the important achievements of 2024 in terms of recognition, outreach, science, policy & advocacy, and in the field through the network. For the first time since our start in 2021, we were able to publish a collective report featuring inspirational success stories by the network around the world.
We are looking forward to 2025!
Milestones, network growth & financial overview

We then go into more detail on our four main pillars of our work as the GRA:
- Network Development
- Rewilding Science
- Policy Advocacy
- Mainstreaming Rewilding (World Rewilding Day, rewilding in action and more)
Finally, find all of our financial overview and detail of our board members and directors.
We hope that you enjoy!
