In my opinion, rewilding is one of the most important things we can do for wildlife. Creating resilient ecosystem diversity is vital for the conservation of an area. In Scotland beavers were reintroduced with high hopes of them aiding in rewilding the land.
#rewilding The choice regarding beavers was down to there remarkable ability to naturally rewild an area. Doing so by creating many different habitats that are vital for invertebrates, species know to be essential to ecosystems, as well as improving water quality through daming. #nature

Regenerative farming!
I’ve recently been reading James Rebanks, English pastoral. I have to admit upon first hearing of his book I had little knowledge regarding the recent dramatic changes within farming. Rebanks however, makes clear the issues regarding modern day farming. The constant increase in food demand resulted in rapid changes to traditional farming. Resulting in the overuse of harsh pesticides and machines. Regenerative farming works in opposition. It’s purpose, to farm ethically and sustainably without the use of damaging practices.
