    For families on vacation, a playground provides a welcome break. It can also provide a glimpse into the local culture，from the setup of the park to the ways families interact．Here are the designs that live up to that challenge．

Fruit and Scent Playground, Stockholm

    Is there a picky eater on a steady diet of chicken fingers and cheese? Perhaps a trip to Sweden's Fruit and Scent Playground will change his or her culinary(烹饪的)tune. This playground features a banana slide，an orange seesaw，pear huts，a watermelon jungle gym and a pair of cherry swings，all designed by public artist Johan Ferner Strom. Now, who can say you can't play with your food?

Nishi Rokugo Park, Tokyo

    Located between central Tokyo and the city of Kawasaki, Nishi Rokugo combines recycled rubber tires(橡胶轮胎)with traditional playground equipment. In total, more than 3,000 tires of different sizes are used to create tunnels, bridges, tall sculptures for climbing and, of course, tire swings. There's little shade, so you can visit here in the early morning or late afternoon for the most comfortable weather, and be sure to wear your play clothes.

    Bicentennial Children's Park, Santiago, Chile

    Bicentennial Children's playground in Metropolitan Park was built to celebrate 200 years of Chilean independence and improve the lives of Santiago citizens. Dozens of slides are built into the slope, creating a design completely complementary(互为补充的)of the surrounding landscape. Fountains offer some relief from the sun, and ample seating gives parents a place to relax.

    So what is rewilding?

    Imagine our natural habitats growing instead of shrinking. Imagine species thriving, instead of declining. That's rewilding. Rewilding is ecological restoration and a little bit more. Rewilding offers hope for wildlife, humans and the planet.

    Why is rewilding essential for Britain?

    ●Our ecosystems are broken. The places where you would expect wildlife to thrive have been reduced to wet deserts. The seabed has been damaged and stripped of its living creatures.

    ●Our wildlife is disappearing. Many wonderful British species have declined catastrophically over the past century. We've lost more of our large mammals than any European country except Ireland.

    ●We need keystone species. These vital species, including top predator（食肉动物）,drive ecological processes. Their loss in Britain and around the world has worsened our living systems.

    ●Nature looks after us. Good ecosystems can provide us with clean air and water, prevent flooding, store carbon, and attract visitors. Rewilding can leave the world in a better state than it is today.

    What are challenges?

    Our "rewilding britain" is a long-term project. Of course it has its challenges. Many of us feel indifferent, because we have got used to the lack of native forests. Many farmers oppose the idea. They thought it a crazy idea to bring back predators to the country because they would start killing farm animals. It takes time to educate them. Above all, we need money! So we need your help!

Make a donation

Help us bring back Jiving systems and restore wild nature in Britain!

With your help we can...

●Open up new opportunities for rewilding and push for change.

●Develop tools to educate, influence and spread the word.

Thanks for your support.
