Our land and seas support less people and nature than they once did – and could again.

Scotland’s ecosystems are under pressure. On land and at sea, we face nature loss and climate breakdown. This can feel overwhelming: what can any one person do? 

As a nation, we can unite behind a clear message: Restore. Revitalise. Rewild. 

2021–2030 is the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. This is Scotland’s opportunity to declare itself the world’s first Rewilding Nation, committing to nature recovery across 30% of land and seas – for nature, climate and people.

Thousands of people and organisations have already signed the Rewilding Nation Charter because they want to see Scotland declared a Rewilding Nation.

But this declaration would be just the beginning. To make this happen, we need a Scottish Government committed to restoring our natural environment through groundbreaking legislation, sustainable funding and a clear vision for the nation.

This is Scotland's pathway to a Rewilding Nation. Our manifesto sets out key steps that we need the next Scottish Government to take. We’re calling on all political parties to support the Rewilding Nation vision.
