The CERM Endangered Raptors Centre Association is playing a key role in the comeback of Egyptian vultures in southern Italy. With a pioneering track record in supporting the recovery of this important species, the centre brings valuable experience and ambition to a growing network of rewilding practitioners across Europe.
The Rewilding Ukraine team are working to create a wilder and healthier Tarutino Steppe. The ongoing reintroduction of European hamsters is helping to breathe new life into this unique and vital European grassland.
The historical channelisation of rivers in northern Sweden harmed populations of brown trout. Today, with the support of Rewilding Europe’s European Wildlife Comeback Fund, rewilding efforts are helping this important species make a return, with benefits for nature and people.
Wilder Places, Rewilding Europe’s newly launched tourism booking platform, offers nature-loving travellers unique and impactful experiences across some of our flourishing rewilding landscapes. Book your next adventure through Wilder Places – and help us make Europe a wilder place.
Located in northeastern France, the Arc-Châteauvillain Integral Forest Reserve is naturally regenerating without human intervention. By allowing over 3,000 hectares of previously managed forest to evolve freely, the initiative is a living example of how natural processes can revitalise forests and amplify the benefits they deliver to nature, climate, and people.
Rewilding Affric Highlands has launched a ground-breaking landscape-scale study of red deer in Scotland. The scientific study is using GPS-radio collars on 22 male deer to track the movement and behaviour of this iconic species in the Affric Highlands rewilding landscape.
At Rewilding Europe, we want to demonstrate rewilding at scale. By amplifying access to land, our new Rewilding Land Facility will help us to realise this ambition.
Supported by a grant from Rewilding Europe’s European Wildlife Comeback Fund, four male European bison have been translocated from Poland to Dutch rewilding sites. By enhancing the genetic diversity of bison populations in the Netherlands, the animals will help to secure a healthy future for this iconic and ecologically important species across the continent.
“The Central Apennines: A Story of Co-existence” – a beautiful short film by award-winning French filmmaker Emmanuel Rondeau – is the fifth episode in the Wilder Europe series. Featuring interviews with a range of passionate and dedicated people, it shows how rewilding efforts in Italy’s Central Apennine mountains are helping communities and wild nature thrive together.
A three-year study in Portugal’s Greater Côa Valley has shown that grazing by free-roaming, semi-wild horses can help to reduce the risk of wildfire outbreaks and enhance biodiversity in Mediterranean landscapes. It has also highlighted the fact that when groups of different herbivores graze the same landscapes, this may be even more effective at reducing fire risk.
