  • Meet the Pablo Escobar of beavers, Gerhard Schwab
    "I'm very happy, last week we brought beavers to France and that was my 1000th beaver I had exported either myself or through the organisation. And that was not just to bring back the beaver, but also to bring back the benefits of the beaver." One man is responsible more than any other for bringing beavers back to Europe; German ecologist, Gerhard Schwab.There were probably two to three million beavers across Eurasia, reduced to maybe a thousand in 1900. Gerhard persuaded one state after the next in Germany to do reintroductions and physically led the process. He brought beavers back from the tiny refuges where a handful had survived in Poland, Belarus and the marshes of Germany and France. He mixed them up to create genetic strength and reintroduced them in one place after the next right across Europe.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast.

  • High altitude forest restoration in the Andes with Florent Kaiser
    "If you look at restoring the whole Andes, the entire Andean mountain range, you can't just go at it by planting trees. There are so many other things that you need to do to holistically permit nature to actually come back."In this episode Ben Goldsmith talks with inspirational Earthshot Prizewinner, Florent Kaiser. Florent is leading an effort to restore the high altitude forests of the Andes, stretching all the way from Venezuela down to Patagonia. Accion Andina is a truly earth changing initiative.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast.

  • Who will pay to rewild the world with Tim Coles
    "We just put together a project in Indonesia on restoring mangroves and it's 2000 hectares, and over 40 years the local communities will get in excess of 100 million dollars."People are pretty much sold on the idea that we need to restore nature at scale. David Attenborough said it himself, we need to ‘rewild the world’ but the question is how do you pay for it? What if there was a way, a market mechanism, for getting the world's largest companies to do just that? In this episode Ben Goldsmith is joined by Tim Coles who is pioneering a new market for biodiversity credits. His firm, rePLANET, is already pouring money from large corporates into rewilding projects. This, alongside an existing and fast growing market for voluntary carbon credits, might just be the source of funding the rewilding movement has been looking for.

  • Reintroducing species to Britain with The Beaver King, Derek Gow
    "Coming to terms with the wolf in Britain would be one of the biggest and bravest things we've ever done. But we desperately need to start a conversation about how we do this and when we do this and start to make progress towards attaining it as a real goal." Beavers are the ultimate ecosystem engineers. Derek Gow is a farmer turned conservationist and played a major role in reintroducing the Eurasion beaver to England.In this episode Ben Goldsmith speaks to Derek about how he led the charge to bring beavers back to waterways here in Britain, one of the greatest triumphs of the nature movement. The pair also discuss why there are calls to reintroduce the wolf to the UK.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast.

  • Changing human behaviour to protect biodiversity with Brett Jenks
    "If you want to save any species on Earth, there's really only one species you have to fully understand, and thats homo sapiens, because are the cause and therefore we are the solution to just about every rewilding or biodiversity or climate concern."This time on Rewilding the World, Ben Golsmith talks to Brett Jenks, CEO of Rare.org. They discuss how the St. Lucian parrot was saved - in part - by a rebrand and how changing the attitudes of ordinary people can have transformatively positive impacts on the environment. Brett Jenks has championed behavior change in the conservation community for more than 30 years. As CEO, he leads Rare’s international mission to equip people in the world’s most biologically diverse countries with the tools and motivation needed to sustainably manage their natural resources.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast.
