With only 7% of land currently meeting restoration standards, experts argue for legally mandated protections and direct government action instead. The debate echoes within the Church of England, which owns massive land holdings and faces pressure to rewild 30% by 2030—some see it as a moral duty, others as a financial burden. As land control remains concentrated in few hands, the success of this voluntary approach hinges on goodwill, raising serious doubts about whether England can meet its ecological goals without stronger enforcement.
