About this Event
The 30 by 30 target of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is a key global commitment to protect, conserve, and manage at least 30% of the world's land and sea by 2030 to reverse nature decline and enhance biodiversity. Rewilding could represent a major route to achieving this target, though many countries do not currently list rewilding as a formal category for 30x30. This in-person event aims to address this issue, bringing together experts in nature recovery to discuss the opportunities and challenges for rewilding to significantly contribute to meeting the 30 by 30 target set by the Convention on Biological Diversity and adopted by the United Kingdom.
Through a combination of short talks, discussion panels and poster session, we will (i) set the policy context pertaining to biodiversity loss, nature recovery and policy frameworks supporting this recovery nationally and internationally; (ii) introduce rewilding and discuss the multiple benefits associated with it, paying attention to the evidence base to date; (iii) discuss how rewilding works in practice, and the challenges associated with rewilding projects; and (iv) identify key steps for moving the rewilding agenda forward, ensuring a meaningful contribution to the 30 by 30 target.
