Located in southeast France, the spectacular Dauphiné Alps are the latest addition to Rewilding Europe’s growing rewilding landscape portfolio. In collaboration with a broad coalition of local partners, rewilding efforts will build on the remarkable recovery of wild nature here, further enhancing biodiversity and delivering wide-ranging benefits for people and climate.

I like to climb Veliki Rajinac. Neither the prettiest nor the highest peak of Velebit, but it is special to me because only there, leaning back on the deep soft mountain carpet and viewing the entire Adriatic Sea, I can easily unload my worries like nowhere else.
