Chris Packham, a well-known conservationist and broadcaster, along with several hundred schoolchildren and a jazz band marched through central London to Buckingham Palace to deliver a petition signed by 100,000 people.
"We are very politely ... asking them to change their (estate management) practices and if they could announce that before COP it would send out a brilliant message across the world," Packham told Sky News.
"This is not the time for talking about doing things anymore, this is the time to actually do them, so whilst they are saying the right things ... what better place to do the right thing than in your very own, very large, back yard."
Rewilding is a conservation effort aimed at restoring natural processes and wilderness areas, and Packham said a transition on royal estates would involve using only organic materials, more tree planting and a reduction in deer numbers to allow regeneration.
He added that practices like grouse shooting in which land is burned and drained and lead shot is used "are not compatible with some of the things that the Royal Family are saying about their genuine concerns when it comes to the environment and the bio-diversity crisis."
The Royal Estates said it has a long history of conservation and biodiversity and was constantly looking for ways to make further improvements.
