Is Restoration & Rewilding the only way of truly saving UK habitats?

In this episode of the Nature-Based Solutions takeover, Jake Fiennes, Conservation Manager at the Holkham Estate, discusses how his radical habitat restoration and agricultural work has nurtured Holkham’s species and risen its crop yields - bringing back wetlands, hedgerows, birds and butterflies over 25,000 acres of land.

We also hear from Natural Capital Consultant at Savills, Samantha Skinner, on the work currently being done up in Scotland to improve biodiversity and restore landscapes in the face of the climate crisis.
