Can Rewilding Save the Planet? Wolves, Wildflowers & “Going Feral?”...

Kia ora, I’m Brianne – and I’m the kind of irritating person who wants to talk about rewilding. Particularly wildflowers.

If you follow me on social media, you're probably over this topic. And if you are… I’m sorry, but you’re probably in the wrong place today — because that’s exactly what this episode is about.

This one’s a little bit special. For one, Earth Day is basically right after this episode goes live, so it feels like a cosmic sign that we should talk about giving the planet some love.

But also, rewilding isn’t something I’ve just read about in glossy magazines. It’s something I’ve been doing — actively — for years. And I’m absolutely seeing the payoff in my own garden. It’s really quite remarkable how quickly the planet can regenerate if we just leave it alone… or better yet, give it a helping hand.

So I wanted to actually explain what rewilding is, how you can do it, and why it’s a bloody important thing to be doing.

In this episode I share:

  • What exactly rewilding is
  • The post child example of successful rewilding
  • An example of rewilding working in a city
  • How you can rewild an entire ecosystem by changing/fixing one element
  • What the sweet spot for the rewilding approach is
  • Is de-extinction rewilding
  • What has happened on my lifestyle block that I am rewilding
  • What marine re wilding is and how it helps
  • One thing any of you can do today to do a little bit of rewilding.

Key Quotes

“You don’t have to rewild in any particular way.”

“We need healthy forests and wetlands and grasslands because they store carbon far more effectively than bloody pine forests do.”

‘The idea that it’s just letting everything go wild is an over simplification.”
