We want to live in a world rich in wild landscapes, providing a sustainable future for life on earth.
About us
The Lifescape Project is a not-for-profit organisation set up to design and undertake conservation projects that aim to support wildlife, transform landscapes, and help to provide a future for all life. We focus on ambitious projects that look at new ways of solving complex problems and bring together the skills and expertise of the public, private, and academic sectors. At the heart of all of our projects is a commitment to delivering environmental, social, and economic sustainability in order to make sure the benefits to wildlife are lasting. Our story The Lifescape Project was established in 2017 by a team of individuals at Clifford Chance, AECOM and the University of Cumbria who, motivated by the significant degradation of the world’s ecosystems in recent times, desired to make a real difference in the protection of the global ecosystem and undertake ecological restoration. The collaboration stemmed from a previous ecological project which introduced a unique set of industries and individuals to one another, and those involved soon realised that they could combine their expertise in the fields of ecology, law, economics, academia and sustainability with their love for the environment in an entirely new project. This blend of driven and intelligent professionals across a variety of disciplines helped spawn the idea for an independent charity which could continue to build on the work and relationships initiated under that enterprise. Motivated by a mutual desire to take on innovative and challenging new projects, with the aim of promoting and working towards wildlife conservation and restoration, the first steps were taken to establish a body which could take on ecological projects and make ideas of sustainability and restoration a reality where others hadn’t tried or been able to make headway. In this way the Lifescape Project was born - at the time of writing, Lifescape now has over 100 volunteers working on eight different rewilding projects.

Tell us what you think about lynx and the prospect of bringing them back. Last year we asked people in the project region of northern England and southern Scotland how they felt about reintroducing lynx. Now we'd like to know the views of people across the UK. Take our short survey: https://lnkd.in/e5CCVkG7
