Two national parks in Belgium and Montenegro, and a nature park in Croatia, have joined the European Rewilding Network. Connecting with a growing community of rewilding practitioners and accessing a range of practical tools and expertise will help them amplify their nature recovery efforts.

For over a century, protected areas have been the backbone of nature conservation in Europe – safeguarding habitats and species from urban sprawl, intensive agriculture, and the relentless advance of human infrastructure. Yet no protected area can function in isolation. Healthy ecosystems depend on connectivity: on wildlife corridors, permeable landscapes, and the freedom for species to move and thrive.
