Rewilding Europe

Rewilding Europe is a non-profit organization established in the Netherlands in 2011. The organization works to promote the restoration of natural ecosystems and the recovery of animal populations across the European continent.

The organization works, among other things, on restoring damaged landscapes, reintroducing keystone species, restoring natural processes, increasing biodiversity, supporting research and education, and creating economic development for the benefit of local communities. The goal of the organization is to create a Europe that is richer in nature and more resilient to climate change.

Givskud Zoo Nature Fund has chosen to support two of Rewilding Europe's initiatives, namely European Young Rewilders, which focuses on engaging young people in the rewilding movement across Europe, and an initiative in the Greater Côa Valley in Portugal, which works with two of Europe's most endangered mammals, the Iberian lynx and the Iberian wolf.
