A new and updated Wildlife Comeback Report, involving 50 European wildlife species, will be published today, September 27.

Arcadia has just awarded Rewilding Europe a grant of 5 million dollars. The money will be used to advance European rewilding in three main areas, under the umbrella of our Strategic Plan 2021-2030.
