Ben Goldsmith is an author and rewilding activist who has poured his passion and resources into the land. Raised in the wilderness, nature has always been in his blood, but after the tragic death of his 15-year-old daughter Iris in a farm accident, his connection to the environment deepened.

In his poignant book God is an Octopus, he shares how he found solace in nature, rewilding his Somerset farm and setting up the Conservation Collective, an organisation supporting grassroots conservation efforts worldwide. He also founded the Iris Prize, which empowers young activists working to live in harmony with nature.
