At Ecosulis we believe that keeping our employees engaged, motivated and mentally well is critically important. Small, positive changes can mean a lot and benefit many - both in January and throughout the year.
New research has found that most of the world's vertebrate populations are in better shape than previously thought. This gives new cause for optimism that efforts to restore wild nature can and will make a difference.

Unjustified negativity
In a recent Zoological Society of London Conservation Event titled "What's next for rewilding?", Ecosulis Nature Recovery Lead Dr. Paul Jepson outlined how a bold new synthesis between rewilding and natural capital could enhance and accelerate nature recovery. Here he explains how.
The CreditNATURE project, which will see Ecosulis and partners work together with the Bunloit Estate in the Scottish Highlands, could unlock new revenue streams for rewilding initiatives by allowing them to issue carbon, biodiversity and rewilding credits. The project has been funded through Innovate UK's Sustainable Innovation Fund.
Transformative funding
With a wealth of business experience and commercial expertise, Jeff will help take the company forward in a number of key areas.
Ecosulis is thrilled to announce that Jeff Davitt has been appointed as the company's new nature recovery finance director. With a background in business and accounting and a longstanding passion for wild nature, he brings a unique and hugely valuable skillset to the position.
As the first multi-disciplinary account of rewilding science, the groundbreaking publication is intended to advance the theory and practice of rewilding and underlines Ecosulis's commitment to nature recovery.
Rewilding offers solutions to our current climate and nature emergencies. Today 15 leading European rewilding organisations are calling for a wilder Europe and the inclusion of rewilding in the European Green Deal and EU Biodiversity Strategy post-2020.
A call to collaborate
The London-based team took the contest's £5000 prize with their proposal for an automated mink eradication device. Ecosulis will now collaborate with Citizen Zoo to develop their concept further.
Scalable system
A proposal for an automated mink eradication device has helped Citizen Zoo win the inaugural Ecosulis Tech Contest. The first prize of £5000 was awarded to the team at the beginning of August.
Changes to workplace practice at Ecosulis have led to measurable improvements in wellness, bringing benefits to both employees and the company.
A new commitment
Effective conservation demands effective communication. The Ecosulis communications team has recently been engaged by WWF-Scotland, WWF-England and WWF-Cymru, offering strategic advice and generating reports that raised campaign profiles and resonated with a wide range of stakeholders.
