How to Bring Wilderness Back to Britain | Rewilding UK | Back from the Brink

Let's do food forestry and permaculture work with nature.

Agriculture = feeding the inhabitants of the UK , so so many people

I'd love to bring back all the animals we lost but for Bears and Wolves I think most of us we'd not bode well with bringing them back cause that's actively inviting something most of us have no idea how to handle since they've been extinct in the UK for a long time as well as something that could potentially kill us. Since most of us are not ready for something more dangerous then like a deer or cow, especially if we've never left the country before. European Bison we can handle since not too dissimilar from cows and Lynx aren't too dissimilar from cats.

I still believed having farming Patterson food is still important😮

European Bison never lived here.

Great idea bringing back the wolves with some thoughtful planning. I think that ‘right to roam’ law is insane. We have some laws like that in the southwest US & I highly disagree with ranchers being able to do whatever they want on spaces they do not own.

the biggest pest in europe generally has two legs ----- and answers back when challenged ...

I would love the uk to have big forests and massive rivers it would be amazing

Overpopulated by humans so they allow hundreds of thousands to show up on their beaches and stay, to the detriment of everybody AND the nature that is left.

Sadly developers have other plans, and they run the councils

Im afraid rewilding the UK with predators is a nonsense that will not work. The only part of our nation which has enough space is Scotland. However most of this space is managed for grouse & deer shooting where predators would not be welcome. Even non-native mink are viewed as a real problem for small animals, fish and birds in Scotland and are routinely trapped and destroyed. Wolves would be treated in a similar way.
The only way to keep large predators in the UK is in enclosures which is not rewilding.

Or how about the Right to Roam with a double barreled 16 gage? That will make the wolves warry of Man and man's settlements very fast. Wolves are smart. They will habituate the regions that best suit their pray. If the prey is a farm with sheep, then that's what they will do. But if the farm has sheep dogs and a 15 year old shepherd with a 16 gage, well then the wolves will learn that that farm is not good to hunt.

See humans were hunters too in the "natural" world. That does not mean we should all go out on every weekend and shoot up the hills of every wolf and fox and coyote we can get in range of. But shepherds use to keep dogs and carried some sort of weapon. There were a few sheep still lost to wolves. But sometimes there was a wolf that got too close and was turned into a rug for the farmers house.

And Beavers didn't have to go to civil engineering school and then apply for a grant and fill out a bunch of forms and supply environmental impact statements and wait for the various local and provincial governments to have committees and townhall meetings and referenda and even put the Dam project on some kind of National Ballot. No, they just jumped in.

I hope Man can learn to get out of the way more often.

Tarras Valley is a nature reserve located in Langholm, Scotland. The reserve spans over 10,500 acres of land and is one of the biggest projects of its kind in the UK for people, nature, and climate 12. The reserve is owned by the community of Langholm, which purchased the land from Buccleuch estate in 2021

Don't worry. In 30 years the Huge Human population will be a lot smaller and mostly in the cities. So there will be enormous open spaces to recolonize with previously displaced native species. That is my hope for most of the current world. By 2150 I hope that the Human population will be about 1.5 billion globally and there will be vast tracts of wild forests and plains of Prairies and millions of square miles of open ocean that will not see a piece of floating plastic not to mention any sort of commercial or private or military ship or craft of any kind again.

I am thinking of putting some small plastic trays with soil and some pretty cacti on the roof of the Chevy. It sits out facing West and the FL sun can get pretty hot and dry. I wonder if that will count?

I haven't done laundry in a few weeks and there was some serious re-wilding going on in that dirty laundry basket. I had to load my rifle to do laundry. Now that's wild!

Wholeheartedly enjoyed this video! Thank you for putting this together and giving hope to idea of living in a more wild UK, in the not so distant future

There’s only one living primate in England. Legend has it. If they disappear, so will the English (I’m assuming that really means all of us)

I wouldn’t mind wolves in the uk but not bears .

It won't happen, thousands of fields have been converted to houses in the county of Devon in just twenty years, perhaps you are watching it on video games or virtual reality????Get real...

Will never happen...Wimpey homes have beaten everybody to the space....

Does the UK have raccoon dogs yet? I know they all over continental europe

Never mentioned Bizon come from Poland

Thats a bandage on an axe wound. The problem is the UK is way overpopulated. This will never work until you first lower the population significantly. Everyone who isnt actually British would make a fine choice for permanent expulsion

I'm from Sweden where we still have those animals (except bison) and I have personally seen most of them in the wild. I saw wolfs hunting a deer about a year ago from about 30m. That was an insane experience lol

would love to see an update video to see how things changed ect

You say farming only accounts for .5% of the GDP but how much percent of actually feeding fucking Great Britain does it account for!

But surely British agriculture feeds millions?

All the time farmers have the right to cull animals on there land that cause problems to there rops or livestock I really don't think its possible to rewind the UK which is a real pity.

What about wolves overpopulation?

/How manny bears have been released in the UK. How many more does science sah are needed.

This would be a great idea if people would give up that vegan insanity.
Eat the natural wild meat, stop cereal farming.
It will never happen. It's cereal/bread grains that have led to population booms. A few people can feed thousands by harvesting and processing grains.
People were healthier and smarter and more respectful of nature when they hunted.
I promise you, the majority of people pushing this rewilding scam aren't thinking ahead. You don't need to think long term to see what sort of impact this will have.
Where will your granola bars come from if you shut down your farms? Over seas. That's a mighty big carbon footprint you're creating. But who cares as long as YOU don't have to see it.
China is happy to pollute and destroy their own land, with the aid of slaves. That's why everything is so cheap.

Sorry but the ignorance, hypocrisy and naivete is just painful to see.
You brits love to brag about freeing slaves but you never did. You moved them off shore. Democrats in the US have done the same thing.
You have this insane delusion about rewilding England and happily talk about reducing the population.... as long as you aren't forced to participate in the purge.

Go ahead and admit you imagine the darker skin tones when you think of population control. Sanger would be proud.

Wow these guys have audacity to preach others when they themselves systematically wiped out all of wild life they had. Not only brits are thie*ves but they are hypocrites too

Russian Poseidon will help with that 😁

If you let us have guns to defend ourselves for when a bear turns up in our house I'd let it slide but until then I ain't having anything I cant beat in a boxing match back on this rock.

This is totally disconnected from reality in the British Islands,

Sounds great but we don't want wolves and Bears back in the UK
All that will happen then is nobody go out into the countryside
Agenda 30 all humans in cities only the elite enjoy the wilderness

What if we experiment with different methods of rewilding? if we were to introduce an analogue species, it would have to closely related and have a similar role to extinct species like for example: substitute woolly mammoths for asian elephants and/or substitute European water buffalo for wild/domestic water buffalo? And if that's an issue we could build a large fenced enclosed nature preserve with jurassic park style fences (not trying to make a real Jurassic Park but you get the idea) and there's been success in Siberia with Pleistocene park, if Siberia can do it, so we!

there needs to be food and wild animals for these wolf packs and supposed black bears you hope to release on tundra with little to forage on

I really don’t want Britain to bring wolves back. Here in America wolves kill everything here and elk and deer populations are going down down down.

Hey there, thanks a lot for sharing this amazing video and highlighting such an important topic. Your efforts to raise awareness about rewilding are truly commendable, and I really hope that it inspires more people to get involved in similar efforts in their own communities. Keep up the great work! ❤

I'm 100% for rewilding but the part with the beautiful rabbit was disturbing!! If these people have so little compassion for a rabbit, I really do fear their intensions with all the other wild animals they are reintroducing into the wild😑

Well there is a ridiculous thought. Best of luck with that, hungry people after the collapse of technology due to the sun.. will behappy to retire them all on the edible qualities.

Can we introduce lions to the kent coastline ..plenty to eat down there

over populated? over populated?!

hyena? why is the hyena also left off the list?

Britain should be more wild before.
