From Eco-Anxiety to Impact Millionaire: Rewilding the World | Oliver Dauert on Nature Talks


Listen Later

In this episode of Nature Talks, we sit down with Oliver Dauert – founder of Wildya, LinkedIn Top Green Voice, and biodiversity builder – to explore how we turn eco-anxiety into real-world nature impact.


Oliver’s bold mission? Help 1,000,000 minds shift, 1,000,000 kg of plastic removed, 1,000,000 corals restored, and 1,000,000 bison rewilded. No greenwashing. No gimmicks. Just measurable biodiversity wins.


After a successful corporate career across e-commerce and tourism, a quarter-life crisis and rising eco-anxiety led Oliver to radically change course. Now, through Wildya, he’s helping ecopreneurs—founders of nature-first businesses and NGOs—get the visibility, funding, and momentum they need to grow wild ideas into planet-healing realities.


We talk about:


🌍 How Oliver turned personal eco-anxiety into action—and how you can too


🦁 The founding of Wildya and what an “impact millionaire” truly means


📱 How ecopreneurs can leverage personal branding and digital storytelling to fuel nature-positive change


🛠 Practical actions anyone can take to restore biodiversity and rewild our world


💡 The future vision for Wildya—like a Duolingo for biodiversity restoration


Oliver has consulted over 21 ecopreneurs, helped generate 16.7M+ impressions for nature-positive content, and built a community of 37,000+ biodiversity builders. His work has already restored ecosystems, shifted mindsets, and created ripple effects across the conservation world.


🎧 Whether you're a conservationist, eco-founder, policy wonk, or just nature-curious—this episode will inspire and empower you to take bold steps toward a wilder, more biodiverse planet.
