A bold vision to rewild South America with Deli Saavedra

"This place went from zero percent possibilities to sight a jaguar in two or three days to 100 percent possibility to see jaguars. This change in perception of the people, because now 'the jaguar is not a problem' is an opportunity."

Rewilding champion Deli Saavedra joins Ben Goldsmith again on Rewilding the World. 

Formerly Head of Landscapes at Rewilding Europe, Deli is now in Argentina leading the great Jaguar Rivers Initiative, one of the most ambitious rewilding initiatives in the world.

Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to people from all over the world who champion nature and are helping to restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.

The Devon Environment Foundation (DEF) is on a mission to accelerate nature restoration across Devon.

Devon’s beautiful natural landscapes are under growing pressure from farming, housing development, and sewage, plastic, and other pollution.

Grassroots nature restoration offers an inspiring, cost-effective response.

We raise money from people and businesses who love Devon, directing it where it delivers the greatest benefit for local nature.
