“We belong here. The challenge is can we be here without impacting detrimentally on the rest of the ecosystem. And the simple answer is yes we can; we know what to do and we know how to do it.”

In this special episode join Ben Goldsmith as he speaks to conservationist and author Isabella Tree and Director of Rewilding Britain, Alastair Driver, about the concept of rewilding.

Rewilding as a term means different things to different people, and can sometimes be viewed negatively.

In this podcast the three talk about their own passion for rewilding and tackle some hard-hitting questions - such as how are we going to feed ourselves if we hand back some of our farmland to nature?

Ben Goldsmith is a rewilding enthusiast and activist based in the UK. In this podcast he’s joined the people behind some of the most exciting and dramatic rewilding projects on earth.

It’s easy to feel gloomy; climate science gets scarier and we lose more and more nature every year. However, the natural world is incredible and there are rays of hope and examples of habitats and wildlife returning and flourishing when it’s given a helping hand.

Season two of Rewilding The World is out in September 2023.
