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.

It is a mild spring day in England, and I am on a passenger train headed for central London. I have a couple of unremarkable errands to run, and I am in no great hurry. In my carriage, I overhear a young child ask a grown-up one of those deceptively challenging questions that infant minds like to slip into a conversation from time to time. The inquiry is this: “What is the world?”…
In the Rewilding Reflections series, Joe Gray is taking us on some thoughtful journeys through the wider dimensions of rewilding.
