New perspectives on rewilding for nature & people


  • Maison Irène et Frédéric Joliot-Curie 100 Rue du Trône Ixelles, Bruxelles, 1050 Belgium (map)

Upscaling ecological restoration is widely understood to be the most effective approach to addressing the biodiversity and climate twin crises. This requires novel perspectives and solutions that are environmentally effective, economically feasible, and socially acceptable. Rewilding is an approach to nature restoration with a strong focus on ecosystem function, self-regulation and resilience while reducing local to landscape scale human pressures. Rewilding is widely considered as a nature-based solution that can potentially address environmental and social challenges whilst enhancing human and ecological wellbeing. Yet the effects of rewilding are far from being fully researched or understood; we do not fully understand how important it will be in addressing the increasingly urgent challenges we face. 

Join us to learn more about ground-breaking work on rewilding in Europe, how it fits into our rapidly changing world, the relationship between ecological disturbance and rewilding, and how innovative rewilding can bring nature and people together in the future.
