Rewilding is a growing phenomenon around the world but getting a new project launched and keeping it going through the early phases can be exceedingly challenging. There is always seemingly too much to do and not enough resources to do it all. Frans Schepers, CEO of Rewilding Europe, talks about how he and his team assist rewilding entrepreneurs from all across Europe. They provide important tools and ongoing connection with others so that no rewilding project is ever alone and each one has the very best chances of success and longevity.

Using a unique community land ownership approach, the new Tarras Valley Nature Reserve project is creating a valued gift for future generations. Initiated just a few years ago, the reserve has grown from nothing to 10,500 acres, making it one of the largest protected areas for nature in Southern Scotland. Jenny, Angela, and their team, while focused primarily on habitat and wildlife restoration, also consistently include local school children in the unfolding of the reserve's many initiatives.

The Klamath River 4-Dam Removal project is the largest such effort going on anywhere in the world. For decades advocates for letting the river run free to benefit salmon and all other associated riverine biodiversity assumed the corporate and government entities that had built and managed the dams were too powerful and closed off to the idea of removal. But in recent years certain conditions changed and the stars somehow aligned— just long enough— for more open discussions of possibility to take place. Six indigenous tribes, agencies, politicians and corporate interests engaged in dialogues that led to a decision and a plan to bring the dams down. By the end of 2024, this portion of the mighty Klamath River will flow freely once more.

In a reflective quest aimed to align her emerging interests with a vocation, Andreia Pawel tent-camped in the Southern Namibian Savana for three years. Then, one day she unexpectedly received the chance to start a new one-million acre wildlife reserve: The Orange River-Karoo Conservation Area. As CEO of this fast-moving project, she looks back on falling in love with a vast landscape and its wildlife inhabitants, and the rewards of watching a newly protected place begin to thrive once again.

Shane Gero is a marine biologist and renowned expert in the acoustic complexity and social behaviors of marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins, and porpoises. He is a Scientist-in-Residence at the Department of Biology at Carleton University in Canada. Importantly, he is also an activist and staunch advocate for providing meaningful sanctuary for these species in the world oceans.
His most recent work in the Caribbean Ocean, centered around Dominica, included thousands of hours of field work and has played a role in finally establishing what will soon be the largest marine sanctuary ever created in the Caribbean and the world's first ever large protected area for Sperm Whales.

Using cutting-edge mapping technology and tiny, digital grizzlies programmed to behave like real ones, bear specialist Dr. Sarah Sells and her team are able to make unprecedented predictions for the species. They can forecast the migration routes that expanding populations of grizzly bears will take and where they are likely to make their new homes. She and her team at the Montana Cooperative Research Unit (C.R.U) are conducting research that directly informs wildlife management decisions and improves the chances that grizzlies can continue returning to their former home ranges where they have been absent for more than one hundred years.

Laly Lichtenfeld and Neovitus Sianga’s work at African People and Wildlife (AP&W) centers on the linkages between people, wildlife and the diverse ecosystems they call home. For decades surrounding their base of operations in Tanzania, there have been intense and seemingly intractable conflicts between wildlife and people. Since 2005 AP&W has been making impressive progress on mitigating these conflicts with simple, ingenious solutions that can be implemented by livestock managers and whole communities on their own. Importantly, they support the use of these solutions through a multitude of ongoing programs that include youth environmental education, women-owned business ventures, continuous monitoring and evaluation, and infrastructure such as their now famous 'living wall enclosures' to protect livestock from predators. As a result, their methodology and values-based approach is being replicated across Africa where others seek similarly effective solutions to help nature and humans coexist.

Trekking 11,000 kilometers over the entire length of South America was cool, but for Gregg Treinish— adventurer and National Geographic Explorer of the Year—something was missing. He wondered if somehow he could bring together his passion for being outdoors, his love of big-time adventuring, and his deep interest in science. And there was one more thing; he wanted to somehow make the world a better place. By later starting his own organization, Adventure Scientists, he devised a clever way to accomplish all of the above and to help thousands of other extraordinary adventurers from around the globe become a part of the action.

Briana Warner became a food systems entrepreneur when she identified a risky yet exciting opportunity: the Maine lobster fishing fleet worked only seasonally. The rest of the year boats were largely idle, and local economies felt the pinch. Enter the sea-grown kelp business. Briana realized a new additive industry could produce a triple win. It would bolster local economic vitality, produce an ecological advantage for the sea, and create ultra healthy food for customers. Now Briana’s company, Atlantic Sea Farms, is the largest line-grown kelp company in the U.S. and her team's success is reverberating locally and nationally.They are providing a positive new model in the food industry for responsibly grown food that is seriously healthy and delicious.
