Pressing the reset button in the outskirts of New Delhi 🌱🌿

📈 In a part of the Aravalli range, in India, the earth, once red and scarred from mining activity, is now alive with activity - humans, plants and animals thrive here.

💪 , a group dedicated to bridging urban life and wilder nature, set out to restore the long-degraded land.

🌱 First, through their Aranya Nursery - a labour of love that propagates over 160 species of native plants, including rare trees like Dhau and Salai.

🫁 Now, projects like the seasonal streams of the Badshapur Forest Corridor and the 73-hectare expanse of the Aravali Nagar Van (the lungs of India’s National Capital Region) are returning to life.

🐇 Led by ecological practitioner Vijay Dhasmana, have seen the return of over 200 bird species and a host of wild inhabitants, including the Golden Jackal, Jungle Cat, and the Indian Hare.

💦 These results now seep into many nearby urban lives: the restored area acts as a critical shield against desertification from the Thar Desert and serves as a vital water recharge zone for the city, with wild animals as essential agents that restore natural water cycles and improve soil health.

🤝 Their work turns city dwellers into stewards of the land, with students, volunteers, and local residents joining hands with the team to nurture the soil.

Their approach is data-driven yet soulful, utilising advanced ecology to monitor change while nurturing the land until it can sustain itself. They set the stage for natural processes to take over.

By listening to the needs of the earth and responding with determined action, they are showing us a glimpse of a wilder future.

Wild animals are the life-force that animate ecosystems 🐘🐗🦭

🩻 The skeleton is the structure of most bodies. The word skeleton derives from Ancient Greek - skéllo means parched up, dry. On its own, a skeleton is merely the dry frame of a body.

🫀 Organ comes from the Ancient Greek word organon - meaning that with which one works.

So, skéllo is the structure, and organon is the energy by which things are done.

🌅 This is precisely what Animals are to an ecosystem. The life, the driving energy, who animate woods, seabeds and mountain peaks. The pulsating heart, the filtering liver, the interconnected brain.

🐙 Each species, every family, each individual animal plays a role in Nature. The sum total of these roles create a harmony that makes our world healthy, safe and liveable, bringing abundance to our lives.

🔬 Reem, board member of the Alliance, has dedicated her life to researching species’ impact on their ecosystems - how the organs animate the body. Reem’s specialism focuses on the hottest seas on our planet - Bahrain’s waters - and inspires us to steward the unique and resilient life beneath the surface.

Planet Earth is a dynamic, living being, who breathes like we do. Restoring her to health means restoring ourselves to health - and having an abundant future.

From a Kulan foal bringing hope to Kazakhstan’s Golden Steppe, to the discovery of lichen species and two marsupials unseen for the last 6,000 years - oh boy - do we have some good news for you! 🌅🌊

From Mexico to Indonesia, Bermuda and Kazakhstan, people are supporting life rebounding - Wild Dogs, Snails, Macaws, Tigers, Bison and Bushbabies… here are some of our highlights:

🐯Tiger populations in Thailand are growing - a rare success story for this iconic species - bucking the trend of regional declines across Southeast Asia. A network of wildlife corridors - designated no-hunting areas - are at the core of the country’s success

🐌 Bermuda Snail ‘saved from extinction’ due to concerted efforts to bolster wild population of 200 individuals with six self-sustaining wild colonies numbering at 100,000 - that’s a biggg family!

🦜Rio de Janeiro, one of the world’s iconic cities, welcomes back the magnificent Blue-and-yellow Macaws to the skies of Tijuca - one of the world’s largest urban parks. In a “dream come true” for locals, the park is part of a globally-spanning movement towards bringing life back to our urban areas.

🐾And astonishingly, two species of marsupials thought extinct for the last 6,000 years have been found in rainforest in remote West Papua - the Pygmy Long-fingered Possum and the Ring-tailed Glider. THAT is a discovery of a lifetime, or many…

The momentum is undeniable

Conservation burials: at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, people are rewilding death 🌅🌱

🌿At Ramsey Creek Preserve near Westminster, South Carolina, Billy and Kimberley Campbell bought a dilapidated farm in 1996. A sudden car crash and the loss of a colleague began a movement: ‘conservation burials’.

“We call it CPR for the land,” Billy says.

🪏Graves are dug by hand, often with the family members of the deceased. They avoid embalming or other chemicals, instead choosing simple biodegradable shrouds, quilts or wooden boxes. A simple flat natural mafic stone marks each grave, blending seamlessly into the landscape that serves a wild purpose – the rebounding of nature and natural processes.

The price of the burials is less than half the price of conventional burials, with a percentage of the proceeds supporting the preservation of the land.

“It’s not just a cemetery, it’s a sanctuary for both the living and the dead.”

📈They are responding to demand; more than 60% of Americans say they are interested in green burial options. In the early days, people traveled from as far as California to bury their loved ones at Ramsey Creek. Now, the Campbells can direct them to the Conservation Burial Alliance, which lists more than a dozen conservation burial sites across the country.

In the US alone, 430 cemeteries now offer green burials, nearly a four-fold increase from 2015.

🌍As sites multiply, the movement challenges the funeral industry’s ecological footprint and widespread cultural detachment from death. The Campbells’ vision is bold: to restore and rewild a million acres through conservation burials.

♻️Humans are part of Nature’s cycle of life - we come from the earth, and to the earth we return.

In life and in death, millions of people are looking to find meaning and participate in the return of healthy, abundant nature.The momentum is undeniable.

Planting seeds for Hornbills in a UNESCO World Heritage Site 🌱

In India’s Western Ghats, a hornbill eats a fruit, drops a seed, and a tree grows. Then, the local community protects it all and the ancient process starts all over again.

🤝 Meet : a passionate collective of ecologists, community leaders, and dedicated researchers, operating within the Sahyadri ranges of Maharashtra.

💪 They protect the unique biological diversity of this UNESCO World Heritage Site and help local communities prosper through sustainable livelihoods.

🌿 To help the Hornbills, they focus efforts on increasing the number of ancient trees crucial for Hornbill breeding, nesting, and feeding.

🌱 They cultivate a Hornbill Food Plant Nursery, growing native saplings from seeds carefully collected from the forest floor beneath active nesting cavities.

👀 They also monitor habitats with CCTV to ensure successful fledging, hosting widespread awareness campaigns, and empowering local youth as custodians of these birds through their Dhanesh Mitra Mandal (Friends of Hornbill Club) program.

🥗 The organisation diligently runs an Indigenous Seed Bank Project, alongside exploring the nutritional richness contained within local wild fruits and vegetables. These efforts help revive and sustain local food heritage, positioning them as living repositories of resilience and hope for future food security.

🤝 Their work spreads to other species. They employ trap cameras to monitor the movement of mammals such as Leopards that frequent human settlements. By better understanding these movements, they help mitigate potential conflicts, promoting safety and mutual respect among local populations.

Finding corporate allies on the path to a wilder world 🤝👔🐾

🤔 How can a company help wildlife populations roam the long distances essential to their natural needs, safe from harm’s way and highways?

🤝 Could corporations direct their environmental targets towards investment mechanisms that ensure well-connected, resilient natural spaces?

These are the questions asked by the study ‘Developing a Framework to Enable Wildlife Corridors to Attract Corporate Sponsorship”, conducted by our teammate Swathi Palanichamy.

⬆️ Through in-depth interviews with corporate representatives, the study uncovers practical, actionable ways to engage corporations onboard with backing wildlife corridors projects.

🌿 Enhancing connectivity of natural spaces through wildlife Corridors - one of the “three Cs of ” (Cores, Corridors and Carnivores… to which we add a fourth “C”: Chewers!) is a proven way to protect wild animals, and support thriving ecosystems.

Presence, attention, curiosity 🐛🐜🍃👀

These lines in Mary Oliver’s poem “Sometimes” inspired our team some poetic musings too.

Receiving Earth’s generosity

Receiving Earth’s generosity
Through hearing a Bird’s song
For the first, the thousandth time,
Or laying eyes on the familiar Tree.

Being attuned to the wonder
Of calling home a uniquely hospitable Planet
Being one amongst many species,
Roaming Her.

Sharing our wonder with others
Is to extend Earth’s generosity.
Encouraging each other to
Polish the gifts of seeing, hearing

Making contagious the receptive quality
That turns mundane into extraordinary.

Inspired by Mary Oliver,
We make our days, minds,
Lands, skies and seas,
A little wilder,
& tell the world about it.

Rewilding the Climate 🐋🌡️ Manon from our team explains why it is about time we include wildlife in climate talks ⬆️

There is a growing pile of evidence that animals are unrecognised but powerful drivers of carbon capture.

👀 🐘In other words: “Ecosystem-shaping animals capture eye-popping amounts of carbon.”

“So can restoring their populations turn the tide against climate change?”, asks Graham Lawton, author of the article and staff writer for the .

By rewilding at scale, yes we can.

Rewilding key wildlife species can enhance ecosystems’ capacity to absorb billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually.

This is called Animating the Carbon Cycle (ACC) - a credible climate solution 🌡️ 🦬

To meet global climate targets, we must not only reduce emissions to net zero but also remove the vast legacy carbon that has accumulated in the atmosphere since the industrial era.

The science of Animating the Carbon Cycle (ACC) highlights the importance of wild animals in carbon accounting and points to as an important solution to solve our legacy carbon debt.

Wild animals provide natural climate solutions by:
🦦 Protecting stored CO2, preventing it from escaping into the atmosphere
🐘 Enabling nature to absorb and store more CO2 in soils and sediments

This field of science and policy is producing rigorous, peer-reviewed evidence to show how nature recovery is a credible, rapid and cost-efficient option.
