Fancy giving an elephant a home? 🐘 Remember the herd of 100 life-sized elephants that took over London’s Royal Parks in summer 2021? Most Lantana elephant sculptures now live in gardens, meadows and woodlands across the country, from Highgrove and Sudeley Castle to Cannwood Farm. A few newer elephants are still looking for homes, and each one sold helps protect wild elephants in India.
Every sculpture is handmade from Lantana camara, an invasive plant that is choking wildlife habitat across India. Villagers in Tamil Nadu, led by women artists, spend weeks on each one. Every elephant is modelled on a named wild elephant they live alongside.
All money raised from the sale of these @elephantfamily elephants goes to their human-elephant coexistence programme in India. As a result, the lives of wild elephants in current project areas are protected, as well as the lives and livelihoods of villagers who live alongside them. The programme provides solar-powered fences to protect crops and grain stores, village teams who safely steer elephants away, a phone alert network, and support for new small businesses.
This approach is proving effective. Since the programme started in 2022, no elephants or villagers have died in areas where this programme is active. But three years into the programme, the British and US governments, previously the two major donors of endangered species conservation, have cut their support for overseas aid. Hence this appeal.
Tuskers, females, juveniles and calves are available: each with a name and built to last a lifetime. If you would like to help us help villagers live alongside wild elephants by buying a Lantana elephant – or more than one - please email Hilary Thomas ([email protected]) to ask about prices and logistics. We would be so grateful.

What happens when we loosen our grip on nature and allow it to find its own way back?
In this episode of #Technicolour, conservationist @bengoldsmith explores the power of rewilding, the importance of local action and why restoring nature is also about recovering our relationship with the natural world.
From his own rewilding experience in Somerset to the grassroots conservation initiatives supported by @conservationcollectiveorg, Ben makes a compelling case for a different kind of environmentalism: one rooted in knowledge, optimism, wonder and the belief that we all have a part to play.
We also bring the conversation closer to home, exploring the extraordinary biodiversity of Málaga province, the environmental pressures it faces and the work being done to protect its natural heritage through @malagaenvironment (MPEF).
Listen to the full conversation, now streaming on Spotify (link in our bio and IG stories) and support MPEF at malagaprovinceenv.org / @malagaenvironment.

¿Qué ocurre cuando dejamos de intentar controlar la naturaleza y permitimos que encuentre su propio camino de regreso?
En este capítulo de #Technicolour, el conservacionista @bengoldsmith explora el poder de la renaturalización (rewilding), la importancia de la acción local y por qué restaurar los ecosistemas también implica recuperar nuestro vínculo con el entorno.
Desde su propia experiencia renaturalizando su finca en Somerset hasta las iniciativas de conservación local impulsadas por @conservationcollectiveorg, Ben defiende una forma diferente de entender el ecologismo: basada en el conocimiento, el optimismo, la capacidad de asombro y la convicción de que todos tenemos un papel que desempeñar.
Acercamos también la conversación a nuestro entorno, explorando la extraordinaria biodiversidad de la provincia de Málaga, las presiones medioambientales a las que se enfrenta y el trabajo que se está llevando a cabo para proteger su patrimonio natural a través de @malagaenvironment (MPEF).

COVER REVEAL 🦫 A Beaver Tale is the first children’s book from @bengoldsmith brought to life with stunning hand-drawn illustrations by @emma_van_zeller_illustration
Inspired by the beavers rewilding Ben’s farm in Somerset, the story follows one determined beaver as he transforms his home, and a whole wetland comes alive around him. It’s a joyful first introduction to rewilding, wetlands and the vital role of nature’s ecosystem engineers.
‘I hope children will dive into A Beaver Tale with wild abandon and pick up a thing or two about these enchanting ecosystem engineers,’ says Emma.
Published by @profile.books A Beaver Tale will be out in hardback on 11 February 2027. £1 per book sale is proudly donated to @beavertrust 🦫
Pre-order via @bookshop_org_uk at the @BenGoldsmith link in bio.

New Zealand has set itself a staggering goal: to rid the entire country of rats, stoats and possums by 2050, so that kiwi, kākāpō and its other fabled native birds can flourish again. In the latest Rewilding the World podcast, Jessi Morgan tells me how thousands of ordinary New Zealanders are making it happen, one backyard at a time.

What Is Wild?
“England doesn’t look like England anymore.”
A thought shared by @bengoldsmith during our conversation about wildness, landscape and how our relationship with the natural world is changing.
Ben very generously welcomed me onto his land to paint, sharing his knowledge, experience and, in a way, lending me his eyes.
Conversations with people like Ben allow me to look again - to see familiar landscapes differently, to question what I think I know, and to notice things I might otherwise have overlooked.
Painting, in turn, allows me to stay with those observations a little longer. To really look, and to hold my attention on the things that might otherwise pass me by.
These exchanges have become an important part of the thinking behind What Is Wild?
Thank you, Ben, for your generosity and for sharing your perspective :)
The beautiful stills from our conversation were captured by @tombeldam , who I’m also cooking up something special with. More on that soon!

Rory Stewart and I have agreeably disagreed over the years about the desirability and importance of returning beavers to our landscapes.
Listen now wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube.
29 Oct 2026
In today’s bonus episode of Rewilding the World I talk to one of the leading skeptics of rewilding policy in the UK, former environment minister and a host of The Rest is Politics, Rory Stewart.
In this lively debate we discuss, amongst many things, why Rory feels rewilding is exacerbating a crisis facing farmers in the uplands, how rewilding policy stacks up against the socioeconomic arguments and why Rory has a bit of beef with beavers.
Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. The episode is also available to watch on YouTube.

🌍 Rory Stewart bonus episode out tomorrow | 28 October
My friend @rorystewartuk has been a bit of a rewilding sceptic for some time, especially as it relates to the uplands where farming is a real struggle. My name has come up several times in connection with rewilding on The Rest is Politics.
