Wild Summit 2025 – what an event! 🌱 On 11 September we brought rewilding to @wildsummituk.bsky.social, a new nature conference by @wclnews.bsky.social of over 1,200 people coming together to explore the solutions needed for the UK to meet its 2030 nature recovery targets.  🧵1/3

The best way to get people to understand rewilding? Show them it in action 🎬 Last week, members of the Rewilding Britain Influence team took six Environmental Audit Committee members (MPs) and two of their specialist team out in the field to experience rewilding first hand. (1/4)

A big thank you to @emmaroddicksnp.bsky.social for tabling a debate on wildfires in @parliament.scot today. Wildfire concern is growing in Scotland, with degraded habitats & monocultures a high risk. We believe restored, resilient ecosystems are our best ally against wildfires. (1/3)

Leave a wild legacy 🌳 Gifts in wills give us the confidence to make wild, long-term plans and the courage to be as ambitious as nature needs, no matter what the future holds. You can be certain that a gift to Rewilding Britain will make a hopeful, wilder future a reality. 🧵1/2

We’re honoured to be a Charity Partner of #BlueEarthSummit again this year. Rewilding Britain exists to catalyse bold action for nature – with business playing a crucial role. From high-integrity nature finance to on-the-ground rewilding projects, we’re helping turn ambition into action. 🧵1/2

Live in Scotland and want to rewild your community? 🌱 The Community Rewilding Guide from the Scottish Rewilding Alliance is a brilliant new toolkit – packed with practical tips, resources and stories from communities who've already taken the leap.

Today's 30by30 progress report from @wclnews.bsky.social shows that only 6% of land is protected for nature, with just years to go til the government's 2030 target to protect 30%. It doesn't have to be this way. 🧵1/3

We were delighted to present MP @rozsavage.bsky.social with the first Rewilding and Restoring Nature Award at the Political Purpose Awards this evening 🏆 Roz is an excellent rewilding champion, pressing for the rapid recovery of nature across Britain's land and seas.

Our seas need proper protections, not backtracking and half measures 🪸 We're incredibly disappointed by Defra's response to the recommendation to ban bottom trawling across 41 marine protected areas (MPAs) despite the public consultation not closing until 29 September. 🧵1/2
