Young people are the future of rewilding. By inspiring and enabling them, the European Young Rewilders – which builds on the work of its predecessor, the Young Rewilders Community – will accelerate the scaling up of nature recovery.
Next generation rewilding
The future of the rewilding movement lies with young people, who are increasingly knowledgeable and passionate about nature, conservation and rewilding. Young people are already key actors in efforts to make Europe wilder, and have huge potential to accelerate the scaling up of rewilding across the continent.
With this mind, we now have a historic opportunity to really engage and empower “Generation Rewilding”, harnessing the skills, creativity, drive and passion of European youth to take rewilding onwards and upwards. This will hopefully lead to a future where young people are truly connected with and benefit from wilder nature, as part of a society where nature is valued and treated as an essential component of prosperous and healthy living.
“I am excited about the unknown, the experiences we can have and the natural processes and patterns that are longing to unfold on our continent.”
Georg, 29, a young rewilder from Germany
