The species’ return to its native habitat, from which it was declared extinct, has been bittersweet: the rewilding program has been a technical success, but bureaucratic wrangling threatens to stall future releases.

Spix’s macaws in a specially built enclosure at São Paulo Zoo in Brazil. The zoo currently holds 27 of the birds, with a maximum capacity of 44. But this on its own wouldn’t be enough to supply the rewilding target of 20 birds per year. Image courtesy of São Paulo Zoo.

News and Inspiration from Nature's Frontline.

Why are the British flooding parts of their coast? Once farmland protected by flood defenses, Steart Marshes in southwest England now thrives as a restored salt marsh. As the defences weakened, the land became increasingly vulnerable to flooding. Instead of rebuilding defenses, conservationists, the government and local communities made a bold choice to let the sea reclaim the landscape. Just over 10 years ago the sea wall was breached, allowing the sea to take over the land, transforming the area into a vital wetland habitat. Salt marshes, which have declined by 85% in the U.K. since the 19th century, play a crucial role in coastal ecosystems. They provide shelter for wetland wildlife, act as natural flood defenses by absorbing storm surges, stabilize coastlines against erosion, and store carbon to help combat climate change. Managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, Steart Marshes now provides a model for future restoration projects, proving that working with nature can protect communities while rebuilding lost habitats.
