Rewilding Futures: Shaping Tomorrow's Wild

Rewilding has largely been a concept used in a terrestrial context to date. Yet, rewilding principles not only apply to our seas, they enable a new approach that embraces the interconnectivity and dynamic nature of this environment. At Rewilding Britain, we have been working with pioneering community led projects delivering marine rewilding on the ground to scale up and mainstream this approach.

What we have identified is that as an island nation, the rewilding of our seas will need to be community driven, and the decision making embracing this bottom-up approach. Diving into a few of these projects, we will showcase the diversity of approaches taken, and the incredible results already seen. Support from the conservation sector and decision makers remains critical. We will discuss how to enable this approach to spread along our coast, removing the key policy barriers and expand this vision offshore where community led action is increasingly complex.
