URobert Wild owenze isifundo secala eLindisfarne Holy Island njengengxenye yeDelos Initiative. URobert ungusosayensi wenhlalo, isazi semvelo kanye nomxhumanisi weSacred Natural Sites Initiative onentshisekelo enkulu ekusekeleni abantu bendawo’ imizamo yokuphatha nokugubha izindawo abazithandayo. Lolu hlelo lokusebenza luyatholakala nasezincwadini; “Sacred Amasayithi Natural; Ukulondoloza Nature Namasiko” kanye ne “I Diversity Lamazwe Engcwele eYurophu“. Funda futhi ngokugcwele ucwaningo lwesigameko.
Isiqhingi Esingcwele saseLindisfarne kanye namaxhaphozi aso aseduze asolwandle kuyindawo ebalulekile yezindawo ezingasogwini nezinyoni zasendle ezibandayo ebusika. Kube yisayithi elingcwele lamaKristu nendawo yokuhambela kusukela ngo-AD 635 lapho yayifeza indima ebaluleke kakhulu “njengomsuka” wobuKristu enyakatho yeBrithani.

Izingxenye zesiqhingi nazo zonke izindawo ezingamaxhaphozi ezizungezile ziyiNational Nature Reserve, kuyilapho isiqhingi uqobo sinezindawo zedolobhana, izakhiwo zomlando, amasonto amaningana nezindawo zokubuyela emuva. Eminyakeni yakamuva, isingathe inani elandayo lezivakashi nezihambeli. Izidingo zabavakashi zinamandla okudala ukungalingani phakathi kwamagugu eziqhingini kufaka phakathi nefa lomphakathi wendawo, imvelo nezomnotho.
Isiqhingi esingcwele seLindisfarne siphethwe yizinhlobonhlobo zezikhungo, konke ngenhloso yokonga isici sesayithi, kungaba yinkolo, yemvelo noma yamasiko. Lapho kubuzwa umbuzo othi ‘ngubani ophethe umhlaba Ongcwele?, impendulo yomhlaba wonke "akekho". Noma isakhiwo esisodwa sokunikeza umkhombandlela singahle singafaneleki futhi singasebenzi, umqondo omkhulu wokuhlangana ungadingeka.
Azikho izindlela ezicacile ezisunguliwe zokuxoxa noma zokunquma ukuhweba phakathi kwemibono ehlukene nezindlela zentuthuko. Isiqhingi manje sesibhekana nalokhu ngokohlaka lomthetho kazwelonke. Kunokwanda okukhulayo kokuthi izikhungo ezihlukene kufanele zihlose ukusebenza ngokubambisana kakhulu. I 2005 Umbono weMvelo eNgilandi weLindisfarne National Natural Reserve ugcizelela indlela ephelele nehlanganisiwe. ICommunity Development Thrust ikhulisa ukunxeshezelwa kwayo futhi ithola ulwazi, ngakho-ke ukwazi kangcono ukumela umphakathi onezikhungo ezinkulu ngokulingana okuthe xaxa. Amanye amalungu omphakathi manje angahlala endaweni ngezindleko ezingabizi, kusiza ukugcina inhliziyo yesiko lendawo liqinile.
