Reconnecting Communities by Rewilding
How we want to contribute to a more just, verdant and peaceful world by applying for the 100 million Grant of the Mac Arthur Foundation.
Who we are
We are a consortium of diverse organisations who share an aspiration to have impact on a variety of urgent questions we face right now on a global scale.
Our unique methodology blends proven rewilding principles with regeneration to reconnect rural and urban communities.
Why we apply
Rural areas around the globe are experiencing demographic and economic collapse;
- decreasing agricultural revenues
- ecological degradation
- the migration of youth to cities
Resulting in compromised rural areas.
This is amplifying the existential threat to our planet’s biodiversity through increasing risk of heatwaves, wildfires, floods and more. As a result, these areas are left increasingly vulnerable.
But we have a solution…
Application
Targeting five diverse European landscapes we aim to regenerate rural areas, enhance urban resilience and improve communities. Each regeneration hub provides ecological restoration, economic diversification and community engagement that we plan to scale around the globe.
