Why attend

This event is ideal for conservationists, ecologists, landowners, and policymakers involved in nature recovery, NGOs, Indigenous leaders, youth advocates, and community groups working on biodiversity and sustainable land use. Academics, researchers, and students in environmental sciences will gain valuable insights, and funders and investors can explore opportunities in nature-based solutions.

Session Description

The concept of rewilding is relatively new, and whilst it offers great potential for reinvigorating conservation, it is currently defined and approached in several different ways. Join global experts and conservationists for the launch of the CEM Guidelines for Rewilding - an ambitious, science-based framework for ecological recovery. This event celebrates a transformative vision for restoring nature’s autonomy and resilience through rewilding. Discover practical approaches, inspiring case studies, and opportunities for collaboration across landscapes and sectors. Learn how rewilding supports biodiversity, climate resilience, and sustainable development. Whether you're a policymaker, land manager, or advocate, this event offers insights, networking, and a call to action to help shape a wilder, healthier future for people and planet.
