Here is a reflection on my time spent back home on the Isle of Wight seeing how rewilding could personally impact me and where I live.
The Isle of Wight has already seen rewilding in some ways with the recent reintroduction of six White Tailed Sea Eagles as part of a five-year reintroduction plan
The first interview I did back home was with Jamie Marsh from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. I met Jamie along the Eastern River Yar, a potential rewilding and beaver reintroduction site.
I then met Kinglsey Hollis, a young farmer who grazes his sheep on small bits of land which some believe should be left to rewild. I interviewed Kingsley to explore the other side of the debate and how rewilding potentially clashes with the farming community, and whether the two can work together.
