Creating Wildwood & how can we Rewild Britain
In this lecture I explain the History of why Wildwood Trust was formed and our mission to Rewild Britain. I try to explain the complex issues that will challenge us as we try to rewild Britain and make a space for nature. At the heart of the problem lies a broken economic system that gives perverse incentives to abuse nature and use land inefficiently. The corruption of economics over the last century & the propagation of discredited economic principles is directly responsible. Reversing this economic stupidity could lead to a rewilded world where there is wildlife, jobs and wealth for all in a system that captures economic rents for public revenue. This will enable us to internalise the damage we do to others and nature in a new economic & wildlife renaissance.
