Rewilding the UK, turning back on consumerism, wealth and inequality - Guest: Julia Davies

My guest is the brilliant lawyer turned activist Julia Davies, once described by The Guardian as ''the millionaire rewilding the countryside, one farm at a time''.

Julia is a true impact investor, lawyer, philanthropist, and environmental campaigner.

She's dedicated to catalyzing action to tackle the climate and environmental crises and interconnected social issues. She does this under the banner of environmental fund We have the POWER, with power standing for ''Protect Our World, Educate, Restore''.

Julia's philanthropy is focused on taking urgent action to tackle the multiple crises we face. It includes funding climate litigation and using philanthropic loans to catalyze acquisition of land for nature restoration by charities such as the Wildlife Trusts.

Julia has a particular mission to turn down the tap on new and set up the reuse collective for that reason. It's a collective of young and innovative businesses focused on making single use waste and overproduction of new goods a thing of the past and helping the shift to a circular economy. She's also a member of Patriotic Millionaires UK, a network of British millionaires campaigning for tax on high level wealth.
