In the face of horrifying climate headlines, it’s good to know that amazing people are taking on huge environmental restoration projects. Thank you Ben for sharing their work in this always interesting, informative and inspiring podcast.

Fascinating and inspirational interviews with heroes of rewilding. Thank you Ben!

I have loved this series. Such important work.

I have really enjoyed the three episodes. Great to hear about some of the amazing projects that are going on

I read God is an Octopus by Ben Goldsmith and that led me to this podcast. If you’re feeling down about all the bad news about climate change, this pod will help you realise that there are good people in the world trying to change things for the better. What I like about Ben is his knowledge about rewilding - I’ve learned so much about ecosystems and how much damage we have done to the environment in this country but also around the world. Ben’s enthusiasm and easy broadcasting style makes this a fascinating and informative podcast. The book is a great read, too.

This is a fascinating account of a massive restoration project in which the RSPB have been involved for 15 years working with a supportive government to restore ecological balance to an area the size of France & Germany combined. Excellent podcast - thanks. 🙏

Found this podcast very interesting and the audio was excellent.

I thought I was well informed about rewilding until I listened to Rewilding the World. Every episode has taught me something fundamental and important. And has filled me with ambitious hope about the potential of rewilding to help the planet heal. Absolutely inspirational. Thanks Ben and your remarkable guests.

Love this podcast. The last one with Isabella Tree and Alistair Driver encapsulates brilliantly what Rewilding is all about and offers such wonderful hope.

This is a fantastic podcast series of interviews with key rewilders and their projects from around the world. The language, style, tone, and content of the episodes make them very engaging, positive, and optimistic, just like rewilding itself. If you are just starting your journey of rewilding discovery, then I’d recommend starting with the “What is rewilding?” episode from 3rd August in which Ben chats with 2 of the UK’s most prominent authorities regarding rewilding.

The stories of rewilding and nature recovery shared in the episodes so far have all been incredibly hopeful, uplifting and inspiring. The guests are passionate, and discussions had are informative and thought provoking. Thank you for creating this podcast, it genuinely leaves you feeling more optimistic for the future and motivated to do what we can to help nature recovery too.

Brilliant discussions, helping to make space for nature and bring balance back to the world. Thank you.

I enjoyed the August episode for a number of reasons. Firstly it really brought the debate back to basics. It clearly navigated the what and the why of Rewilding for people like me who are somewhat unfamiliar with the term and have mostly heard the term used in policy narrative (it doesn’t get a good wrap). Secondly, the sensibility of the host and his guests to touch upon the fundamental reasons why nature is so important to human beings, really struck a chord with me. I grew up in Somerset and after being exposed to grief for the first time over covid, I’m not sure how I would have coped without nature holding my hand. A basic right we should all have, not a privilege.

Thank you for cutting through the noise.

Looking forward to season 2

I love this podcast too much! The latest Episode with Isabella Tree was almost as good as her books! So glad you got her on. Excited for season 2!

Thank you Ben for some great stories and inspiring people and for offering an accessible way for people to find out more about rewilding Really looking forward to the next series. Gareth Browning MBE - Wild Ennerdale partner.

Lovely listening to you all talk with such passion and hope. Thank you for the important work that you all do.

This podcast actually gave me hope. We watch many programs that actually make me feel depressed about the state of the planet but this talk was much more optimistic- so thank you.

We visited Knepp a few years ago and absolutely loved it.

Hearing about all these ambitious projects to restore ecosystems all over the world gives me so much hope! Thanks Ben for all that you do 🙂

Too often issues like climate change and disappearing nature are reported on with negative stance. However in order to realistically deal with these issues we need to see that there is more than just a glimmer of hope. Bens podcast is positive but realistic. Spread the word

I’m an ordinary, middle-aged man, working longer hours than I want, but with a long-standing passion for nature and dreams of my own little rewilding projects. Listening to this series of podcasts, and the inspirational people Ben speaks to, is my escape into the joy of nature and the hope that our natural world can be restored. Ben, I’m sure you have read it, but Flowers for Elephants is a fantastic book by Peter Martell, and tells another wonderful story… Perhaps the focus of another engaging episode?!

I absolutely love these podcasts. It is wonderful to hear people talk so passionately and knowledgeably about the projects to which they have dedicated their lives. They always leave me more hopeful. Ben interviews brilliantly, guiding the conversation in all the right ways while giving the floor to his deeply interesting and inspirational interviewees.

Wonderful insight into some of the world’s great rewilding projects. Ben is a natural interviewer and makes each episode an enjoyable as well as informative listen.

Loved hearing hopeful stories about nature’s capacity to bounce-back, and learning more about the incredible people helping to make it happen.

Ben Goldsmith unveils inspirational stories of rewilding from around the world.

This is the go-to podcast on large-scale nature recovery, future land use, and sustainable livelihoods and land economies. Rewilding has a massive role to play in getting the climate system back in balance and building resilient nature-based economic dynamism across landscapes and regions. Alongside regenerative farming, it’s the future.

A wonderful and informative session to inspire us all

I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying this podcast.

It is so uplifting and inspiring, I literally needed it for my soul - I am too prone to the gloom and the utter hopelessness of the popular view of ‘progress!

At last, an antidote👏🙏🏻🤞

THANK YOU

An incredibly inspiring podcast which provides hope that we can return balance to the world.

Fascinating deep dives into inspiring nature restoration projects and people.

fingers crossed rewilding becomes the norm. So exciting

An utter joy to listen to, providing a fascinating insight to the nature and wildlife that surrounds us. Ben is a brilliant host providing a platform to discuss and understand how we currently live and how we can all contribute to restore our landscapes.

What a brilliant, important and fascinating podcast. Well done Ben!!

Ben shines the spotlight on some wonderful rewilding projects from all around the world that many listeners will have yet to have discovered. The stories from the guests are full of hope and inspiration at this time of climate emergency.

Such an uplifting listen - Ben’s guests are doing wonderful work, giving nature space to flourish, and it’s a treat to listen to these conversations. Their shared vision, commitment and impact shine through.

Interesting, informative, inspiring - listening to the podcast gives me hope for humanity achieving a better natural world and undoing some of the immense anthropogenic damage of the past century.

Great podcast about Rewilding from people who know what they are talking about.

positive stories about people and projects that are genuinely the most important things shaping our uncertain future

A great podcast about rewilding. This really is what we needed! Looking forward to more episodes.

Joyous stories from across the world of what could be

What a fantastic series. Each episode a glimpse into the possibility of a truly natural recovery for our beautiful, but damaged, planet.
