                        The call of the wild 

                        Rewilding has long been a popular topic among Positive News readers. And as the movement has grown – once a germinating seed, now a veritable meadow of unfurling spring buds – the stories we’ve unearthed have also grown in depth, breadth and colour. 

                        Today, for World Rewilding Day, we’re sharing some of our favourite rewilding stories. From the scientists who rewilded a field 60 years ago (before the term even existed), to the ‘mini forest’ revolution sweeping the UK, we hope you enjoy these stories of nature coming back, in all its glory. 

                        They not only offer examples of what nature is capable of when left to flourish, but what humans can do when we set intentions. The residents of the once-declining declining Scottish town of Langholm are a case in point – they grabbed hold of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create the country’s most ambitious rewilding project, and are now restoring an entire ecosystem at scale. 

                        Happy reading – we hope that, wherever you are, you’re able to experience a little bit of nature today.

                              The plan to restore Britain’s lost rainforests
                              On a soggy walk through a regenerated British rainforest, we learn about the mission to revive these forgotten ecosystems  

                              Sixty years ago, scientists let a farm field rewild – here’s what happened
                              The Monks Wood Wilderness experiment in England was a rewilding study before the term existed. This is what we can learn from it  

                              Video: Bison roam England again for the first time in thousands of years
                              After a prolonged absence, the animals were released in Kent last summer to boost biodiversity and tackle the climate crisis  

                              The town that pulled off Britain’s most ambitious rewilding project
                              The against-all-odds tale of a declining Scottish town that bought a moorland off a Duke – and started rewilding it

                              Millions of seagrass seeds are being planted around the British Isles to capture carbon and boost biodiversity  

                        Good news is natural: support regenerative news today

                        There’s no natural law that news should be about what’s going wrong – it’s a choice, driven by an “if it bleeds, it leads” culture in journalism.

                        In the same way that nature in its wild state is a balanced system of life and death, at Positive News we believe the news should include important stories about how, where and why life is thriving, too. Knowing about progress and potential solutions to important issues not only boosts people’s wellbeing, it draws attention and resources to positive change and empowers everyone to act.

                        So, help us to end the socially destructive monoculture of bad news, by planting seeds for a more regenerative news landscape.
