Speak up for rewilding and nature recovery!
YRN would like your help to tell every serving politician in Yorkshire:
- how important nature recovery is
- how rewilding can play a massive part in that recovery
- that you want government policies and action that enable nature to thrive
Below we give you some ideas on how to do that. Make it personal if you can, tell them why you care about biodiversity and climate change.
Remember: when humans want to, we change things for the better.

The Rewilding Manifesto – 30 by 30
In 2022, at the UN Biodiversity Summit (COP15), the UK made a formal commitment to protect and conserve a minimum of 30% of land and sea for biodiversity by 2030, known as 30×30.
The Rewilding Britain Rewilding Manifesto, which YRN supports, calls for this target to be delivered through rewilding.
