The future hope for all life on Earth, will come to rest on the shoulders of the next generation and those that will follow.

If we are to see an end to the current rampant destruction and consumption of the natural world, we will need to see the rise of a generation that respects the rights of all species, not just our own, and that is going to require a sea change in the current thinking of humanity.  

Young people are pioneers of sea change, but without knowledge, there can be no understanding of what needs to change, and without hope there is no will to act.

Our Mission

Our mission is to inspire young people, and for young people in turn to inspire their families, to get involved in the great work of rewilding the Earth and restoring nature. To do this a new story must be born, one that tells of our inter-being with the rest of the community of life on Earth.

We are working to build a movement of young people, who are reconnected to nature and understand their place in the natural order of life.  We are working to help young people bring into being a new culture - one that takes responsibility to care for the whole community of life on Earth - to act in the interest of all species, not just our own.

In order to achieve this Operation Future Hope works in schools, with landowners and with the wider community in the following ways;

1.  Providing pioneering, up to date planetary and ecological education in schools in order to teach about the state of nature, the importance of conserving global biodiversity, and the immediate need to develop a circular and regenerative economy - a model for life and growth within planetary boundaries.

2. Creating rewilding projects within school grounds that enable young people to grasp the concept and importance of ecologically rich and resilient landscapes that support humans and wildlife alike.

3. Providing outdoor learning opportunities and experiences that reconnect young people with nature - creating a 'reset' in how we view the landscape, wildlife and animals in captivity, including domestic livestock.   To enable young people to understand and appreciate animal sentience and other species rights to life with us - to kindle an empathy for all living beings.

4. Connecting Rewilding Schools with the wider community of landowners and conservationists in order to create a network of habitats and corridors for wildlife. And, to inspire others to get involved in starting rewilding and wilding initiatives of their own throughout the region.

Through these four pillars we aim to inspire and create HOPE for the future, and show how it is possible, through our own actions, to build a better and equitable world for all species.
