Our Vision

Our vision is to help young people discover their own true nature and deepest connection to the Earth.  And, to inspire, inform, and mobilise this generation to become restorers of biodiversity, co-creators of life and of beauty, who know how to live in harmony and balance with the whole community of life on Earth.

Our mission is to inspire young people, and for young people in turn to inspire their families to get involved in the great work of rewilding the Earth and restoring nature. To do this a new and yet ancient story must be reborn, one that tells of our true nature - of our interdependence and interrelatedness with the rest of the community of life on Earth.

We are working to build a movement of young people, who are deeply reconnected to the Earth, understanding right relationship, respecting Natural Law, and the intelligence of Nature. We are working to help young people bring into being a new culture - one that takes responsibility to care for the whole community of life - to act in the interest of all species, not just our own.

In order to achieve this Operation Future Hope works in schools, with landowners and with the wider community in the following ways;

1.  Providing pioneering, up to date planetary and ecological learning in schools in order to teach about the state of nature, the importance of conserving global biodiversity, the relationship between human health and planetary health, and the immediate need to develop a circular and regenerative economy - a model for life and growth within planetary boundaries.

2. Creating rewilding projects within school grounds that enable young people to grasp the concept and importance of ecologically rich and resilient landscapes that support humans and wildlife alike.

3. Providing outdoor learning opportunities and experiences that reconnect young people with nature, including their own inner ecosystem, creating a 'reset' in how to see the natural world; the land, wild places and wildlife. To enable young people to understand and appreciate animal sentience and other species rights to life with us - to rekindle an empathy for all living beings.

4. Connecting Rewilding Schools with the wider community of landowners and conservationists in order to create a network of habitats and corridors for wildlife. And, to inspire others to get involved in starting rewilding and wilding initiatives of their own.

Through these four pillars we aim to inspire and create HOPE for the future, and show how it is possible, through our own actions, to build a better, more beautiful, and equitable world for all species.
