Wilder Wight
Creating a Wilder Isle of Wight
Space for wildlife on our land and seas is being constantly squeezed. We need to give nature the space and time to recover by ensuring that 30% of land and sea are actively managed for nature’s recovery by 2030.
We believe that the Island offers the best chance of realising our ambitions for a wilder future, where wildlife can bounce back on a grand scale. From rewilding and restoring missing species to the creation of nature-based solutions, there is huge potential to make the Island richer for wildlife and people.
