Church of England Rejects Proposal to Rewild 30% of Its Land by 2030

14 Temmuz 2026The Guardian

The Church of England has voted against a proposal to rewild 30% of its land by 2030, drawing criticism from campaigners who argue that the church is failing to demonstrate moral leadership as a major landowner. Currently, only 3.5% of the church's 425,000 hectares is designated for nature restoration.
This decision has sparked a debate about the responsibilities of landowners in addressing environmental issues.
The Church of England's land ownership places it in a pivotal position regarding land use and conservation efforts. The proposal to rewild a significant portion of its land aligns with broader global initiatives aimed at reversing environmental degradation and promoting biodiversity.
The Church of England's decision not to pursue a rewilding initiative raises significant questions about the role of influential institutions in environmental stewardship. As one of the largest landowners in England, the church has a unique opportunity to lead by example in the fight against biodiversity loss.
