World Rewilding Day
Each year on World Rewilding Day people across the globe join together to celebrate rewilding’s vision for nature recovery. Join in on 20 March.
This global event, which takes place on 20 March each year, harnesses the momentum of the multitude of people around the world who are on their rewilding journey, or simply believe in its power for change. This year’s theme is all about choice. Let’s #ChooseOurFuture.
“People really are at the heart of rewilding. Only we can make it happen.”

Who’s behind World Rewilding Day?
As a member of the Global Rewilding Alliance
, Rewilding Britain helped establish the event at the signing of the Global Rewilding Charter in March 2021. The first-ever World Rewilding Day was launched to coincide with the start of the United Nations Decade of Ecosystem Restoration – to demonstrate that rewilding is central to achieving the important goals of this decade.
