Across the world, grasslands play a vital role absorbing and locking up carbon in their vegetation and soils. Recent research from the Tarutino Steppe in Ukraine shows how rewilding can revitalise grasslands, improving soil fertility and enhancing their carbon storage potential.
The Rewilding Ukraine team have just released a herd of seven fallow deer into the wild on the Tarutino Steppe. This exciting and long-awaited step towards a wilder landscape will deliver a range of benefits to nature and local communities.
This July, an educational camp on the Romanian side of the Danube Delta rewilding landscape saw 30 high school students reconnect with nature. A range of engaging activities and exciting field trips gave the children an appreciation for rewilding and inspiration for the future.
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.
Today, rewilding efforts are breathing new life into the Ukrainian Danube Delta. By immersing soldiers and their families in the landscape’s resurgent nature, a pioneering initiative is now helping people heal too.
Today, scaled-up rewilding efforts in the Southern Carpathian mountains of Romania are enriching biodiversity and delivering tangible benefits for local communities. By showcasing these efforts and amplifying engagement, the newly launched Rewilding Romania website will support this upward trajectory.
Wildlife comeback can sometimes lead to coexistence challenges. A recent example from the Ukrainian part of the Danube Delta rewilding landscape shows how simple solutions can often overcome these challenges, ensuring the recovery of wild nature benefits all.
Five eagle owls have just been released in the Danube Delta rewilding landscape in Ukraine, as part of an ongoing reintroduction programme. The releases represent a significant step forward in the programme, which aims to re-establish a viable population of the birds in the landscape and enhance the overall health of the delta ecosystem.
The Rewilding Ukraine team are engaged in long-term efforts to create a wilder and healthier Tarutino Steppe. The ongoing reintroduction of European hamsters will help to restore local food webs, enhance biodiversity, and boost nature-based tourism.
