There are so many projects in place across the country and loads being proposed! my upcoming film Rewilding Britain will explore many more!
Wild bison to be reintroduced to UK for first time in 6,000 years
2020 is set to see the reintroduction of European Bison to the UK for the first time in thousands of years.
Wild Ennerdale, Cumbria
A partnership between the Forestry Commission, National Trust and United Utilities, Wild Ennerdale formed to create a wild valley where natural processes determine how the landscape and ecology of the area is shaped and developed.
B-line Initiative to Create Wildflower Highways Across England to Help Pollinators
The conservation charity Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates. Their new initiative named B-lines an online map will create a network of wildflower highways across England to help bees and other pollinators.
Rewilding britain to rewild 300,00 acres of land.
The conservation charity, Rewilding Britain, is going full force to rewild the UK, with the aim of turning an area the size of Greater Manchester over to nature within three years.
Beavers Are Allowed to Stay in Devon!
The decision has been announced by Defra that England’s first wild breeding population of beavers for 400 years has been given the permanent right to remain in their East Devon river home.
Beavers have built a dam
The beavers have been busy and footage shows them at work building a dam. The trust has already spotted kingfishers on-site and are expecting to see a lot more wildlife soon like amphibians, insects, bats and birds.
Dingle Marshes, Suffolk
A coastal location, what makes this reserve interesting is that there is no attempt to protect the area from sea level rises, with the general acceptance that over time the environment will become more saline.
Teenage Mission to Rewild Britain with Reptiles and Amphibians
Two teenage boys are on a mega mission to rewild Britain. Harvey Tweats and Tom Whithurst are building an amazing project. They want to replace the toads, frogs and lizards to British ponds, lakes and wetlands once more.
Rewilding Success with the Golden Eagle in Scotland
For the first time in 40 years a pair of golden eagles have successfully bred at an estate in the Scottish Highlands thanks to the help of an artificial nest.
Pesticide Metaldehyde to be banned by March 2020!
The outdoor use of metaldehyde, a pesticide used to control slugs on farms and in gardens is set to be banned in Great Britain.

Rewilding Britain - Seawilding 1 Million Oysters in the UK
In Loch Craignish, on the west coast of Scotland is popular with fisherman, sailors and tourists. Danny Renton, a radio documentary maker and founder of the Seawilding project, wants to restore the loch’s marine life to its former glory.
Rewilding Britain with the Dalmatian Pelican
A new rewilding effort which aims to expand the UK’s marshlands could see the return of the Dalmatian pelican.
Knepp Estate
A five year monitoring survey carried at Knepp reveals astonishing wildlife success.
Red Squirrels in cumbria
The Red Squirrel Survival Trust is the largest national charity protecting Britain’s iconic native species and has raised more than £50,000 in funding for the Animal and Plant Health Agency for the continuation of pioneering research into non-lethal grey squirrel management.
Vincent Wildlife Pine Marten Recovery Project, Mid Wales
The Vincent Wildlife Trust will be releasing pine martens brought down from Scotland into 20 woodland sites across mid wales. The first of these reintroductions has already happened with 20 animals being released. The translocated pine martens have become established and breeding has been recorded every year since the translocation began.
Happy rewilding day!

Rewilding restores my faith in humanity
If you only knew the inhumane agenda that's masquerading behind such a beautiful ideal
@@Sionnach1601, would you mind elaborating further on this? I’m quite new to the rewilding concept and like what I’ve seen so far, but am interested too in hearing about any potential repercussions surrounding it also. 🙂
Dont out faith in men
@@oscarpinchen4431 rewilding is a complex matter and needs to be done carefully. But done right it's a great movement
Until man nukes it
I'm writing this comment from Russia and want to say that european beavers now live just over all the Moscow city parks and european bisons successfully returned not only to all national parks along the Oka river but in rural landscapes nearby too.
And it is wonferful. :)
There's only one invertebrate conservation organization in europe? That's insane. Also, I wonder how all that dam building by beavers will influence the local environment in years to come. Also also, seawilding. What a name.
It would be great if golden eagles could come back too- my grandma and grandad live in Penrith in the Lake District and they say they used to see them sometimes.
@em ! my grandad often has a badger problem- the set isn’t in his garden which is luckier than what once happened to my grandmas friend (she had a little dog too so mr badger was not wanted) but every so often it will come back and start digging up all his tulips and daffodils and just making a complete mess. Their gardens quite big so at the back they’re an area where they don’t cut the grass until August every year, and I think they’ve seen lots of mice and things in there
I read somewhere that red squirrels numbers were on the rise because of the rise of pine Martin numbers, it seem the reds can evade the martins but the greys can't, I hope this is true.
I believe so. I'm making a video about pine martens soon so I'll be expanding my research :)
It's true
@@TheKingdied Thanks for that. Good to hear.
I didn't know Britain had had pelicans. That's awesome
The Hampshire Sea Eagle project deserves a name drop too! But awesome video.
Thanks for the update it’s great to see how much progress we’ve made I thought it was little to none. It really gives you hope
Yes it does!
All this good news, it's a mental tonic. Well presented, I thank you.
I've had such a negative outlook on life recently, things just seem bad at the moment. nice just to hear a bit of positivity for a change, keep it coming.
I agree, every day it's some sort of fearmongering and it's plastered all over my home page, I'm not subscribed to any news but you just can't avoid negativity anywhere on social media. I say do away with Facebook, make everyone on Twitter equal instead of giving blue checks making them feel superior and do away with comments on CZcams. Ah just take away advertisement that will solve it all.
yay hopefully wolves and lynxs will be in Scotland soon
Well done from Australia 👍
Wow so interesting. Go Britain!
So encouraging
If you want to see red squirrels then Formby is a great place- they have a pine forest dedicated to the reds, and any greys they see are taken away
I’d like to know more. Going to check it out! Thanks
Good showings us all
So nice to hear about all this positive news
Rewilding is what I do for a living. I personally think the most positive change is the change in mindset. I rewild more gardens these days and it seems more people each year want to do more by, doing less. After revisiting a few gardens since the end of lockdown, wildlife is flourishing. It really is Dow to the every day person if we're going to make a difference. Love this content.
This is very inspiring! Thank you for cataloguing and detailing this important work so that more and more of us can push this movement forward. We are finally catching up in CA with wildlife bridges and tunnels for mountain lions and replacing invasives with native plants :)
This truly fills my heart with joy seeing the UK regain so much of its wilderness.
Let's hope that this trend carries on in positive trends, especially with the red squirrels. I haven't seen any red squirrels in at least 15 years.
I've seen a green squirrel and an axolotl
Now this is what CZcams is great for.
What a wonderful video thank you. I live in the US and I’m very grateful that Joe Biden is now our new president with that being said hopefully someone can do a video of we wilding stories like yours from the US
Thankyou! I love getting feedback and video ideas 😀 so let me know if there’s something you want me to cover.
I'm not up to date with American news, has any conservation projects begun??
Happy days
Things are looking great, but we still need apex predators to control all of these organisms: wolves or bears, perhaps starting with lynx would be a good next step.
Let's rewild and repurpose! It is so easy for us to start introducing food based plant species. I would love to see something like that along with rewilding efforts.
Wow this looks very promising! HAPPY REWILDING DAY!
Great news but make sure you show correct species. In the section on Beavers you showed a clip of an America Robin - member of the Thrush family, but totally non native to the UK
I like the b-line ideawe cannot exist without pollonating invertabrates
“Bug-life is the only organization dedicated to invertebrates in all of Europe”
Seawilding and their oysters: am I a joke to you
Such amazing projects. Do you know of anything happening in Northern Ireland?
I'm sure I read something the other day..... I believe there is some projects in the pipeline too. Share if you know of any :) x
hi robert, look on rewiliding britain and rewilding europe websites, there are maps with all the differents projects! 🐥🐍🦎🦤🐢🐆🦒🦏🐒🦜🐌🐺🐈🐐🐔
We need more wild boar.
Cats and dogs will be on the Golden Eagles menu.
Sometimes we get so caught up in the bad news we forget to look for all the amazing projects which are happening behind the scenes. Thank you for sharing all this wonderful news.
You’re welcome! 💚💚
PEOPLE IN INDUSTRIAL COUNTRIES HAVE TO LEARN AGAIN TO LIVE IN A NATURAL ENVIRONEMENT AGAIN ..... NOT ALWAYS EASY BUT YOU BRING HOPE WITH REWILDING BRITAIN
Yes Rewilding brings so much hope :)
What do you think uk will be like in 2022-2030 and when will they introduce wolves
Is The B-lines project still going ahead? There have been several studies in Canada, The US, The Netherlands and Austria that have shown that road-side pollination regions have actually decreased the numbers of pollinators within these areas due to the height of the plants and the impact of cars. In the Netherlands, they saw a decrease of 12% of bees in local areas after these projects were initiated and checked after a few years. Can you clarify this projects intent? I can’t find much online about it and how they plan to combat this.
Do you have any information regarding the potential disease risk of rewilding animals in the UK?
Thanks for commenting, I am making a video that covers this very soon!
Some very encouraging news and some very good work in progress, just one thing , why are two lads in Staffordshire branding themselves as 'Celtic' Reptiles. If it was Scotland ,Wales , or even Cornwall I could understand it. Best of luck to them anyway.
Wow. There's more going on with this than I thought.. amazing. The quicker we re wild the better.
Hi do you know of any re wilding in Norfolk? I’ve heard about wild boars being re introduced but not to sure on any other animals
Wonders what we will do when we are importing all our food when we stop farming ? Or is it ok to import it from other countries ?
You do have a point,
what about introducing wolves or lynxs?
Massive discussion! 🤣 I have a quite a few videos about wolves and the lynx. You could start with my feature film ‘wolves unmasked’ czcams.com/video/wrAnJJ7cEaw/video.html 🐺💚
❤️❤️❤️🐈🐈🐈🐥🐥🐥🦕🦕🦕❤️❤️❤️
What kind of jobs could I look into doing that would give me a chance into helping rewild Britain?
Hiya! thats a lengthy answer. I wanted to do exactly that so I'm now studying a MSc in wildlife biology and conservation. I have learnt so much and am so glad I did it! There is so much you can do though... you don't even have to go back into education. Obviously do as much research on the subject as possible. You could read a few journals / articles a week etc. Watch documentaries, they are brilliant for gathering lots of views in one place and sign post you to experts in the field. If you have a look on rewilding britains website it gives you info and contact details for organisations / locations that are involved in rewilding projects. I would say thats a good starting point. www.rewildingbritain.org.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw--GFBhDeARIsACH_kdZ3tcpHRtOuUZ27H3XqpTNzTQs8I6qLFTbhgWJLeRfnnRs2sjs3oyQaAl7KEALw_wcB
Pity there were so many library shots of foreign species, otherwise great stuff
Apologies for this! but I couldn’t possibly shoot all the required footage I need for my videos! Thanks for your comment though I appreciate the feedback.
The one I don't get is the beaver why do they need consent and why no wolf's?
Any animal reintroduction requires consent from the UK government for a number of reasons such as impact on farming, disease, hybridisation, and impact on habitat. It's got to be a well thought out approach. The wolf is a much more complex issue that extends beyond this comment - watch my film 'wolves unmasked' czcams.com/video/wrAnJJ7cEaw/video.html or my video on the history of the wolf in the UK czcams.com/video/4tD9DuGnQHo/video.html. :)
I saw somewhere pine martens kill grey squirrels is this True?
Yes some studies have demonstrated that this is true!
I really hope England eventually allows large predators back in, since without them, this entire ecosystem they're trying to rebuild will collapse
All is well and good, just don't bring lions and hyenas as well 🤣😆😆 Since they historically also lived in Britain. Well if you do I'd have something weird to read across the sea here 🙃
If bears came back to Britain could they survive hibernation
Yes ofc Britain has mild winters
@@JohnSmith-ou5un I mean find a place to hibernate
yeah considering they used to live in Britain before humans made them go extinct
@@driptroll2781 things in the wilderness have changed since then
@@kaidenhall2718 i mean I don't really know if that would be a problem or not cuz idk much about hibernating but i think they will find a place to hibernate but they might not even be reintroduced so we'll figure out if that ever happens.
U.k need to bring back links bear wolves
All of those except bears but lynxes are necessary and wolves are important but the farmers would never let it happen they would probably kill them or something to stop them killing cattle and sheep when there are guard dogs to stop them works for the yankees barbed wire fences and metal fences but as my step dad says the farmers don’t have the money but the government could afford ( not that they ever would) also they could get charity’s to help but only so many people would donate to them
@@kaidenhall2718 They'll need bear too, to help with the larger herbivore prey like bison, moose, horses, and boar that have been reintroduced but they mostly eat roots, grass, and berries. They have wolves and bear in eastern Europe and their livestock seem to be just fine except Romania but that is because of the overpopulation of bear because it is a protected animal. just bring back the large breeds of shepherd dogs who are bred to deal with these animals even bears are naturally afraid of dogs.
@@Noot-Noot7305 wolves are perfect, because they eat what bears eat, and they're shy towards humans! :D
This rewilding thing is so long why can't they just bring all these animals here already this is do dumb.I'm not waiting till 2022 for a bison why didn't they do it this year spring.
This is just stock footage and wikipedia narratation. What has insecticide control got to do with re-wilding? Why does your footage include Edible Frogs and an American Robin?
Yes, all lovely and wonderful until you find out that
a. The price of food is going to increase significantly, while the availability diminahes
b. The solution, is for you to instead eat insects, lab grown synthetic meat, cricket 'protein' and drink 'cockroach milk'.
c. After a significant amount of rewilding has happened, and you have gotten used to your new disgusting diet which you never asked for, you will not be allowed to even go and view or enjoy the newly rewilded lands, and must remain in your 'smart', highly monitored city, while only the elite are allowed to go for some wild boar hunting.
Great stunt isn't it? Socially engineered oppression of billions of people under the guise of beautiful and benevolent aims.
That’s one hell of a theory… what evidence is there to suggest all of the above will happen? Rewilding isn’t the answer to everything but do you not think it’s a start? What’s your solution to the current environmental crisis?
Certainly an interesting theory to hear, but I’d want to see more evidence to support it before buying into it. Rewilding the UK is highly unlikely to disrupt the food supply given that the bulk of our food is imported from other parts of the world with more landmass free for mass farming. In fact, there’s very strong evidence to suggest that turning farms over to rewilding projects is actually a more efficient use of the UK’s land given that farming, while using something like 70% of the UK’s land, only employs 1.45% of the population and only constitutes around 0.5% of the UK economy. As such, importing food and returning farmland to nature is much more sensible and ultimately not very detrimental to our food supply at all.
I do agree though that the wealth divide between the poorest and the richest in the UK has grown significantly, but I suspect that the best way to combat that is with more robust regulations on the private sector and possibly the housing market, as well as introducing a better living/minimum wage. Also removing loopholes from the taxation system so that large multinationals can’t evade their tax responsibilities would go a massively long way in helping to fund better public services and infrastructure.
You can eat normal food while having rewilding. Just as long as livestock is not overgrazing then a cow pasture, sheep field or any other grazing land can support a large amount of biodiversity. Plus how do you think rewilding groups make money if everyone stays in cities.
