Rewild Carbon is Durrell's wild, colourful and impactful carbon balancing programme. We reduce carbon in the atmosphere by rewilding threatened ecosystems which are rich in wildlife.

Our projects are designed together with local communities to benefit sustainable livelihoods.  Together, we know the wildlife, the threats and the land best. 

Our first Rewild Carbon project is in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where we are restoring forest corridors to create lifelines for wildlife.  It is one of the most species-rich habitats on the planet, yet only 6% of it remains, in scattered fragments.
