One of the people involved in setting up the charity was Guardian journalist and author
George Monbiot who published
Feral, a book about rewilding, in 2013. Rewilding Britain has called for the reintroduction of predators such as
lynx and
wolves which were hunted to extinction in Britain centuries ago. Its proposals have been often opposed by farmers. In 2020, Rewilding Britain called for natural regeneration to be incentivised by the future
Environmental Land Management Scheme and to be made the default approach to woodland creation unless trees are unable to establish or would take too long to arrive. == See also ==
