Global Rewilding Alliance

The Global Rewilding Alliance (GRA) is a growing network of more than 230 organisations (as of February 2025, growing at more than one per week) working on every continent to help nature heal herself and secure a thriving future for people, nature and planet. Our network of Alliance Partners is working to rewild more than 2 million sq km of land (equivalent to around half of the land area of the US) and over 5 million sq km of oceans in more than 124 countries, and is an official partner of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the High Ambition Coalition.

The GRA adopts 12 guiding “Principles for Rewilding” outlined in its Global Charter for Rewilding the Earth -- demonstrating that rewilding is best regarded as a global movement for the benefit of all life on earth. 

Our mission is to mainstream rewilding in science, policy and practice by 2030. GRA partners are protecting and restoring nature on all continents; they are bringing back hundreds of species and large animal populations; they secure places where nature and wildlife can regain lost ground. Alliance Partners do this with local and indigenous people, drawing on their knowledge and traditions, while engaging millions of people in this hopeful, inspiring movement all over the world.

From its founding in 2021 - Re:wild is a founding partner - the GRA has risen to the opportunity of the moment, helping to spread the idea, theory and practice of rewilding and to foster the emergence of a united, diverse, global rewilding movement. They create common ground and joint action in communications, science, advocacy and networking with the aim to mainstream rewilding into national and international dialogue, policy, decision-making, science and action.

The Global Rewilding Alliance is here to catalyze, build and support the global rewilding movement. We are mobilizing the power of people working together to rewild the Earth. Our collective achievements prove that we can indeed recreate a rich, diverse, and resilient planet Earth – faster than many believe is possible.
