At the same time they’re providing holidaymakers with beautiful places to stay
degraded landscapes, and promote more biodiversity. It is otherwise known as ‘renaturing’ – they are re-engineering the land as nature intended, and at the same time providing holidaymakers with beautiful places to stay.
It’s not just private enterprises that are returning the land to nature, governments, too, are making progress. Around the world, measures are being put in place as a means to combat climate change, on land and at sea, through the storing of carbon in soil, bogs, scrub and trees, and the restoration of seagrass meadows and kelp forests. Examples include rewetting of peat bogs, restoration of watercourses, creation of wetlands, removal of intensive grazing, reintroduction of key flora and fauna, allowance of natural regeneration and planting forests. Choose to support these rewilding initiatives and you’ll contribute to important time-senstive work.

Rewilding Britain was founded in 2015 to restore ecosystems across the country. Its manifesto is to see ‘a mosaic of species-rich habitats restored and connected across at least 30 per cent of Britain’s land and sea by 2030’. It hopes to achieve this by creating core rewilding areas across at least 5 per cent of Britain, and the establishment of nature-enhancing land and marine uses across at least 25 per cent of Britain. rewildingbritain.org
