Rewilding Britain
Rewilding Britain is an organization founded in 2015 that aims to promote the rewilding of Great Britain. It is a registered charity in England and Wales, and also in Scotland.
One of the people involved in setting up the charity was George Monbiot who published Feral, a book about rewilding, in 2013.
Rewilding Britain has called for the reintroduction of predators such as lynx and wolves which were hunted to extinction in Britain centuries ago. Its proposals have been opposed by farmers.. However, in 2018 the Prime Minister launched a 25-year environmental plan which gave encouragement to Rewilding Britain by, for example, supporting the reintroduction of the beaver and recognising the pioneering achievements of the Knepp Estate in lowland rewilding.
