The wild is in decline. We have degraded three quarters of all wild places and pushed more than 1 million species to the brink of extinction. More than half of Earth’s remaining wild areas could disappear in the next few decades if we don’t decisively act. This is why today, I am honored to support the launch of Rewild.org - to protect what’s still wild and help restore the rest.
As part of our first undertaking, Re:wild is supporting Parque Nacional Galápagos and Island Conservation with a $43 million commitment to help rewild the Galápagos. This includes returning the Pink Iguana, the Floreana Giant Tortoise and the Floreana Mockingbird to their wild homes, and ensuring the people of the Galápagos thrive with the wild.
Re:wild offers a bold vision to amplify and scale the local solutions being led by Indigenous peoples and local communities, nongovernmental organizations, companies, and government agencies, to help increase their positive impact around the world. Because we don’t need to reinvent the planet, we just need to rewild it.
When I travelled to the Galápagos Islands, I met with Paula A. Castaño from Island Conservation, one of several environmental heroes in Ecuador working day in and day out to save one of the most irreplaceable places on the planet. Later today, Paula will be taking over my Instagram Story to share more about her team’s rewilding efforts in the Galápagos. I’m excited to share her team’s work and to support the longstanding effort to protect and restore these iconic islands.
