Rewilding and Nature Restoration: The Human Dynamic
Date: October 3rd, 9:20am – 2:00pm | Event tickets here
In the face of the climate and biodiversity crises, there are huge new ambitions for nature restoration at all scales. Fantastic work to safeguard and rejuvenate nature is already underway. Involving communities in these initiatives and bringing them along with processes of change can help projects to:
• Get to wiser, better-informed decisions
• Reach wider agreement
• See increased support
• Find more resources for action
• Generate more momentum
In this virtual half-day event, you will gain insights from those working on the human side of nature restoration, drawing on psychology, social science, conflict resolution, consensus building and participation practice.
Whatever the scope of your ambition – from greening a grey pocket of an urban area to landscape-scale change – we want to help you deliver lasting benefits for people and nature.
