Let’s rewild our future​

Our Mission

Empowering #GenerationRestoration by integrating rewilding and capacity development to regenerate nature and build a resilient future.

What we do

The Rewilding Academy helps people and organisations restore nature. We work with local partners to create rewilding and training programmes, led by local and global experts. We believe the best solutions emerge from a systems-thinking approach that integrates diverse ideas, experiences, and expertise. That’s why we build partnerships that go beyond conventional boundaries. Our approach amplifies nature’s own processes to tackle the biodiversity and climate crisis while developing resilient, nature-based economies.

A Vision for a Wilder Future

At the Rewilding Academy, we bring together over 12 years of hands-on rewilding experience, 25 years of conservation work, 25 years of agroforestry practice, and 30 years of experience in research, teaching, training, and capacity building. This unique blend of knowledge and practice allows us to drive impactful nature recovery, empower communities, and shape the next generation of rewilding leaders. With deep roots in science, education, and land restoration, we turn challenges and ideas into lasting change for people and the planet.
