Across Britain’s uplands and wet grasslands, something is missing - life. As George Monbiot highlights in a powerful Guardian piece, swathes of our countryside have become what scientists call “dead zones” - expanses overrun by one plant: purple moor grass. It’s beautiful to look at, but biologically barren. No flowers. No bees. No food for birds or mammals. And no room for the rich mosaic of life that once thrived there.
These monocultures aren’t natural. They’re the result of long-term mismanagement: overgrazing, burning, drainage, and a lack of investment in nature’s recovery. They offer little carbon storage, almost no biodiversity, and virtually no resilience to climate impacts.
At LettsSafari, we exist to challenge exactly this kind of ecological silence. Our network of smaller-scale rewilding safari parks, gardens, and wild spaces is designed to restore what’s been lost - by bringing back diverse, native ecosystems.
Instead of grasslands stripped of meaning, we plant woodlands, flowering meadows, hedgerows, and wetlands. We rewet drained soils, protect pollinator corridors, and create habitats that invite life back in - birds, butterflies, badgers, beetles and beyond.
This is the quiet but powerful work of restoration: not just letting nature go wild, but helping it recover what it’s lost.
You can be part of the answer. By subscribing to LettsSafari, you support real-world rewilding projects that reverse Britain’s biodiversity crisis - one wild, vibrant, humming patch of land at a time.
Nature doesn’t want to be a dead zone. It wants to come back. Let’s help it. Subscribe TODAY!
