The extreme territtories, areas affected by intense flooding risk, become the medium to achieve the goal: a commonrisk, flooding, become a common ground and a resource to develop natual based solutions. Communities and stakeholders engagement become fundermental for a bottom uo strategy.
Heavy and prolonged rainfall is
the principal cause of flooding,
but how the land is managed
can have a significant effect.
The UK tree cover is equal to 13%,
while 70% is dedicated to agriculture
purposes and pasture. The land management
with barren uplands and mono culture is a
main didyurbance, that affects the
economic and ecologic land fragility.
Rewilding the UK extreme territorries aims to re-establish relationships between human activity and the environment, through the eco-logics: creating ecological, socioeconomic, and cultural patterns and feedback nature based mechanisms.
Finding opportunity areas to reclaim to the current emergencied is fundamental.
The metholodogy is based on a straightforward set of assumptions, based on Report
to "Friends of the Earth,2020".
Opportunity areas should deal with local activities without compromising importants
habitats and biodiversity. This balance changes from landscape to landscape and between
local authorities. Because of this, the relation to stakeholder presence and local
farmers and communities on the ground that could be involved in the process are fundamental.
