Celebrating World Rewilding Day 2025!

We're delighted to mark World Rewilding Day 2025 and congratulate the environmentalists, conservationists and rewilders around the world. We're so proud to be part of the global rewilding community.

For the past 20 years, LettsSafari has been pioneering a new approach to nature restoration. We’ve created and managed smaller-scale rewilding safari parks , where wildlife, biodiversity, and ecosystems are regenerated naturally. Our innovative model makes rewilding more accessible, engaging, and sustainable, helping to combat climate change and biodiversity loss.

Of course, the traditional view of rewilding often conjures images of vast wilderness reserves and extensive land restoration projects. However, LettsSafari demonstrates that smaller-scale rewilding initiatives may hold the key to addressing biodiversity loss and climate change more effectively.

Give them the right habitat - they'll do the rest.

The Power of Smaller-Scale Impact

LettsSafari's innovative model focuses on transforming smaller parcels of land into thriving ecosystems such as those at Dawlish Park and Sunrise Park in Devon. This approach challenges the conventional wisdom that rewilding requires extensive land holdings to be effective. By working with areas ranging from several hundred acres down to a household back garden, LettsSafari has proven that significant ecological improvements can be achieved on a more modest scale.

Advantages of the Smaller-Scale Approach

Smaller-scale rewilding offers several distinct advantages over larger projects:

1. Greater Accessibility : More landowners can participate, from private estates to urban parks to community gardens and households.

2. Faster Implementation : Smaller projects can be initiated and show results more quickly, creating immediate positive impact.

3. Community Engagement : Local communities can directly participate in and witness the transformation, fostering environmental awareness and support.

4. Reduced Barriers : Lower financial and logistical requirements make these projects more feasible for a wider range of organisations.

The LettsSafari model demonstrates that rewilding need not be limited to large-scale wilderness areas. By making rewilding more accessible and achievable, this approach has the potential to transform conservation efforts globally. As more organisations and communities adopt these principles, we could see a mosaic of rewilded spaces emerging across urban and rural landscapes, creating a more biodiverse and climate-resilient future.
