Upscaling rewilding and nature recovery through the Rewilding Network | WEBINAR

Hosted by the CIWEM South Western branch

Event description

Rewilding in Britain is gaining momentum — white storks have returned and are breeding in Sussex, pine martens are breeding in England and Wales, white tailed eagles have been reintroduced to Scotland and England. Rewilding is being debated within parliament. All are massive achievements, but nature in the UK is still faring worse than in most other countries.

Rewilding Britain’s are facilitating the new Rewilding Network, which provides practical guidance and shared learning to support rewilding. The Network aims to upscale the area of rewilding by at least 120,000 hectares across Britain by 2022 and in doing so, tackle the climate emergency and extinction crisis, reconnect people with the natural world and inspire individuals and communities through new thriving opportunities.

The talk itself will provide an overview of the Network at the national level, including examples of rewilding across Britain. It will then highlight the role of local groups and provide examples here in the South West. It is aimed at all irrespective of their background and will present a compelling vision and importantly how the Network is delivering practical steps towards nature recovery.

Part of the CIWEM Land and Water Management Ecosystem Restoration digital series.
