Who we are.
We are a grassroots group of ordinary people, campaigners and experts. As the climate and extinction crisis worsens, we’re setting our long-term vision on 50% of the country being rewilded. That's a big goal, so we’re starting by asking the country’s biggest landowners to urgently commit to ambitious rewilding projects to get us started.
In 2021, Wild Card launched a campaign to encourage three of the biggest landowners in the UK to take action. They are the Royal Estates (including the Crown, Duchy of Lancaster and Duchy of Cornwall Estates), the Church Commissioners, and the Oxbridge Colleges.
We are currently self-funded and run entirely by volunteers. Our launch group includes: gardeners, teachers, ecologists, authors, environmental campaigners and artists.
Our campaign tactics are joyous and creative. Think mediaeval parades, children’s choirs, guerrilla rewilding… Everyone is welcome to join our cause.

Our value statement.
- We are joyful and welcoming. Creativity, silliness and humour are our weapons.
- We are uncompromising. We believe that more-than-human-life has a right to exist without human exploitation in a state of true wildness.
- We don’t accept tradition as an excuse. It is the duty of each generation to reforge traditions that are inhumane and unjust.
- We welcome everyone. We do not tolerate bigotry, and we stand in solidarity with all oppressed peoples.
- We recognise the complexity of the issue. We know that reaching a half-wilded country will take time, but believe it’s essential to aim big and to start now.
- We want a just transition. Rewilding gives us the opportunity for people and nature to work together for mutual benefit to progress towards a more sustainable future.
