Rewilding the World: How Wilder by Millie Kerr is Transforming Conservation and Sustainable Business

Welcome to Rethink What Matters, a podcast that explores how aligning business and ecology can improve performance, strengthen families, and create a greener planet. In this episode, host Paul is joined by Millie Kerr, author and conservation storyteller, to discuss her book Wilder: How Rewilding is Transforming Conservation and Changing the World. Millie’s work has earned high praise from Jane Goodall and New Scientist, and in this episode, she shares the transformative power of rewilding and how it is reshaping conservation efforts worldwide. Millie begins by sharing her unique journey from corporate attorney to conservation storyteller. Her fascination with ambitious rewilding projects around the globe inspired Wilder, a book that highlights the positive advancements in conservation. Rewilding focuses on restoring ecosystems through reintroducing species and revitalising habitats. Millie explains that the term originally referred to “the three Cs”: carnivores, cores, and connectivity. One famous example is the reintroduction of grey wolves to Yellowstone National Park, which dramatically altered the ecosystem’s dynamics by rebalancing predator-prey relationships. Rewilding is much more than species reintroduction—it’s about restoring entire ecosystems. From carnivores like wolves to keystone species such as elephants and sea otters, these creatures reshape their environments and set off cascading effects that rejuvenate habitats. Millie emphasises that rewilding doesn’t just stop decline; it actively regenerates, aiming for “net gain” instead of merely achieving “net zero.” The conversation dives into the global scope of rewilding, with projects in the UK, US, and beyond. Paul and Millie explore the differences between passive rewilding, which involves minimal human intervention, and more active rewilding that involves reintroducing key species. They discuss how success in rewilding is measured, whether through population growth, habitat restoration, or ecological balance. The episode wraps up with Paul and Millie drawing parallels between rewilding and business sustainability. Just as rewilding seeks to regenerate ecosystems, businesses must go beyond maintaining the status quo and strive to build a more sustainable future that benefits everyone—from owners and employees to the wider community and the planet.
