Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started running this year in the hope of keeping me sane through this lockdown period, as well as giving me targets to achieve. The next positive step I felt, would be to use my long levers for the things I believe in...

Rewilding has been a long hypothesized conservational strategy that has only recently come into the spotlight, thanks to successful projects such as the Knepp Castle Estate: https://knepp.co.uk/the-results

The idea of leaving aside an acreage of land for nature to revert back to its original splendour goes against many a conservationist's methods, which is a more hands on approach with active management. However, the Knepp Castle Estate, Oostvaardersplassen and other's projects have proven that nature, itself, is able to flourish and prosper without our intervention.

The climate crisis is one of the most pressing issues globally, yet many fail to appreciate what's close to their home! Through engagement with landowners and recent offers of political support,
Rewilding Britain aims to spearhead the movement.
