Now Frankfurt. Our organised civilisation cannot persist for much longer without immediate and dramatic global action to end the use of fossil fuels and to restore nature. The only remaining people who say otherwise are mad, moronic or corrupted by money.

This layer hen has been rescued from a factory farm. She has never previously experienced sunlight, fresh air, grass or kindness. Factory farming is among the greatest crimes ever committed by humanity.

African Parks made the astoundingly bold move of buying out a bankrupt white rhino farm in South Africa to rescue two thousand of these endangered giants. Now they’re busy translocating them across parks and reserves in Africa, often to places which haven’t seen rhinos for generations. The logistical challenges are immense. This is one of the boldest rewilding initiatives in Africa, ever. In the latest episode of Rewilding the World I talk with African Parks’ Don Jooste who is in charge of it. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. 📸 - African Parks

The Somerset Levels was once England's most precious wetland landscape, our Camargue or Danube Delta, known as the Avalon Marshes, the birthplace of England. This amazing watery landscape has been engineered, drained and desecrated beyond recognition and at vast expense to taxpayers, for little or no gain. Now though, at long last, change is in the air.

I was lucky enough to interview one of the most impactful architects of rewilding in Europe, Dutchman Wouter Helmer. Despite being the most densely populated, intensively farmed and heavily developed country in Europe, The Netherlands is a rewilding powerhouse. Wouter's key insight was simply that rewilding offers the most effective way to protect communities from flooding which has blighted the Netherlands for centuries. As a result, the country is now threaded with fat, vibrant corridors of nature, teeming with wildlife. Available now wherever you get your podcasts.
