Rewilding: Conversations on the Ground
Rewilding: it sounds great, but it's complicated. We hopefully all agree that it's a good thing to improve the health and biodiversity of our environment. But what does it mean in practice? What are the common misconceptions? What are the real challenges and obstacles to a greener, wilder future? Our film maker Jemma Cholawo interviewed a knowledgeable selection of active 'rewilders' in rural Scotland and the Lake District to ask what it means to them. What does it mean to you? Let us know in the comments.
