It's essentially an equal and opposite violent act to what was done to the rivers in the first place."Rivers are meant to be wild things but we have tamed them out of all recognition in the UK. Our rivers and streams have been straightened, buried underground, encased in concrete and are nothing like their natural incarnations.But there is a widespread river restoration movement taking hold across the country.

Persuading investors to pay for rewilding projects with Adam Davis
"Larger scale restoration projects mean better ecological outcomes, but they're also more efficient in terms of cost-per-acre." What can be seen as one of the most important things currently happening in rewilding is the opening up of private investor capital for the purpose of restoring nature. This has never happened before; it’s always been a charitable endeavour. However, that model is changing, and very fast. Adam Davis, a cofounder of Ecosystem Investment Partners is deploying millions of dollars of investors' money into huge rewilding projects across America.
