My mission is to accelerate global rewilding with the aim of rewilding half the planet by 2050. As a speaker, author, business owner and fintech start-up founder I am focused on moving that goal to a reality. To achieve this its essential to collaborate and invest in transformational ways of working. As such, CreditNature was founded in 2022 after we saw a disconnect between the natural asset value of land and the desire from investors to seek out opportunities for nature positive investment. We boast the provision of breakthrough technology and the world’s most advanced rewilding investment platform. As CEO of Ecosulis, I am proud that with over 30 years experience we are the UK’s longest-standing ecological consultancy and contractor, and the first business to set rewilding as a company purpose. We are a multi-million turnover, award-winning and B-Corp certified rewilding business with the ambition to accelerate global rewilding. In my co-authored book with Dr Paul Jepson, ‘Rewilding: the radical new science of ecological recovery’ we talk about our discoveries in the radical new science of ecological recovery. I am currently writing a second book titled ‘The Fear Paradox: Learning to Thrive in a Wilder World’, due for publication in spring 2024. Commitment to partnership to accelerate global rewilding. I believe that the best solutions are often the simplest, and that the best results arise from collaboration.
