“Preventing fires from becoming catastrophic means investing in landscapes that hold water, break up the continuous fuel and recover more quickly.”

As we look towards a future where wildfire outbreaks and flash floods are no longer a rare emergency, Rewilding Director Kevin Cu***ng sets out the ways rewilding can future-proof us from extreme weather, including how:

Restoring and rewetting peatlands holds water on the land 💧
Wild beavers create water-logged habitats 🦫
Restored rivers slow water from flowing downhill too quickly 🧽
Natural grazing breaks up vegetation like dry thatch 🦬
Mosaics of native woodlands are less likely to burn 🌳

Rewilding is an indispensable ally and toolkit for building the wetter, more complex and resilient landscapes we desperately need to stop wildfires in their tracks. Read more on how we get there via the link in the comments.
