The future hope for the current expression of life and  biodiversity on Earth, has come to rest on our shoulders and those of the the next generation.

If we are to see an end to the current rampant destruction and consumption of the natural world, that is also the driving force behind the breakdown of human health, we will need to see the rise of a generation that respects the rights of all species, not just our own, and that is going to require a sea change in the current thinking of humanity.  

Young people are pioneers of sea change, but without knowledge, there can be no understanding of what needs to change, and without hope there is no will to act.

Our Mission

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 interrelatedness with the rest of the community of life on Earth, one that speaks of our reliance on the health of natural ecosystems for our own lives and existence.

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 landscape, wildlife, including animals in captivity, and domestic livestock.   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 throughout the region.

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.
