Rewilding Futures: Shaping Tomorrow's Wild

Rewilding projects often struggle to secure adequate, long-term funding due to mismatched public schemes, sporadic philanthropy, and restrictive carbon markets. To address the challenge, CreditNature partnered with the Scottish Government to unlock investment in functional and dynamic ecosystems. This session looks at Drumadoon, a flagship landscape on the Isle of Arran, who are transforming coastal farmland into a mosaic with temperate rainforest, wetlands and natural grazing at the heart. Drumadoon is utilising a framework of metrics, ‘NARIA’, that translates recovering natural processes into units. These have been deployed to baseline, plan and monitor their efforts and, importantly, attract investment. Attendees will hear about the step-by-step process, from early concepts to engaging corporates, for actionable insights on how to develop investment-ready projects. We’ll share a pragmatic vision for a new high-integrity nature market to bridge to funding gap and scale rewilding.
