What if rewilding wasn’t just for landowners or scientists, but for everyone — in cities, gardens, and rented plots? This week on Doing Hope, I speak with Jon Conradi, founder of Wild Mosaic, about making rewilding radically accessible. Through his project, people become Rewilders: subscribing to a 3x3m patch of land and following its transformation into a flourishing habitat — while rediscovering their own relationship with the wild.

This is a story of loneliness and belonging, tiny insects and big ideas, and finding hope by reconnecting with life.

In this episode, we talk about:

* Why rewilding offers a recoverable Earth vision

* What Jon learned chasing hoverflies and planting leaky dams

* How grief over biodiversity loss led to his social impact startup

* Making biodiversity personal, participatory, and joyful

* Rewilding as micro-learning, habit, and everyday noticing

🔊 "Each little 3x3m patch is a tile in a wider mosaic. You become a Rewilder, and you also become someone who sees more." — Jon Conradi
