Rebecca Wrigley is a founder and the Chief Executive of Rewilding Britain, a pioneering organisation dedicated to the restoration of wilder nature across Britain. With a career spanning three decades in environmental conservation and social change, Rebecca has been instrumental in driving the rewilding movement. In particular, linking large-scale ecosystem restoration, economic regeneration and community-led approaches to land and marine management.

Rebecca is a passionate advocate for the role of rewilding in addressing the climate and biodiversity crises, believing in the power of nature to heal itself and the potential for rewilding to transform the relationship between people and the natural world.

Before founding Rewilding Britain in 2015, Rebecca held leadership roles in various NGOs and international organisations, where she focused on sustainable development, biodiversity conservation, and the intersection of human and environmental well-being. Her work has taken her from the forests of Mexico to the mountains of East Africa, providing her with a broad perspective on the challenges and opportunities of restoring natural processes.

Under her guidance, Rewilding Britain has gained significant traction, influencing national policy, catalysing a growing network of rewilding projects across Britain.
