![]() ![]() And who knows, if Obbo started to farm his rewilded land while maintaining its wildness, what new productivity he might find. ![]() The idea could go viral! Clearly, local people craved the shade and bird song on Obbo’s ‘wilded land’ and were finding respite. If Obbo is rewilding his land, others may be looking to do so too. “People now come from villages all around to take photos in what they refer to as the ‘park’.” Charles Onyango-Obbo “What started as a green hobby (grew) wings,” wrote the columnist. But my question when I encountered it was – is wildling or rewilding relevant to Africa? I quickly learned that the answer was ‘Yes’.įirst, I saw a recent article in Uganda’s Monitor by the journalist Charles Obbo, who several years ago started in his words – “a quirky small experiment to ‘rewild’ part of his ancestral land” in Tororo, Uganda. The book is a runaway success in the UK, selling almost 100,000 copies in its first year. Wilding is about the return of nature to a failing British farm and how gradually the land healed, and the farm began to flourish again. ![]()
