Rewilding Dialogue

At the heart of the wildE project lies our commitment to cultivating an inclusive and dynamic dialogue with essential rewilding stakeholders. Our ambition extends beyond mere communication; it seeks to build bridges between the local stakeholders at our eight rewilding sites across Europe, and the influential scientific and policy advocates from grassroots to the overarching European level.

  The wildE project envisions bringing together a tapestry of visions and voices within in-person and digital spaces that will be created to foster participation, collaboration and dialogue on rewilding. Through a meticulously curated participatory process, the project aims to integrate insights from local stakeholders across our eight rewilding sites[HF1]  implemented across nine European countries representing various European regions; and reflecting a diversity of ecosystems, landscapes, socio-economic contexts and rewilding actions. Simultaneously, wildE is engaging and activating prominent experts from both the scientific community and policymaking sectors across all levels, ensuring a representativity of all.

Our digital efforts culminate in the Rewilding Knowledge Hub – a new and evolving multilingual web-platform teeming with up to date resources on rewilding. This platform will not only serve to provide our rewilding community with the tools and up to date knowledge and resources to make informed decisions but also as a web-based networking tool with dedicated spaces for discussions, events calendar, resources sharing and group work.

 Key Stakeholder Engagement:

• Charting the Terrain: Identifying and mapping relevant stakeholder groups within the wildE rewilding sites and as well as in Europe overall.

• Harmonizing Expertise: Collaborating with prominent stakeholders from practice, science, and policy spheres to understand trends in ecosystem evolution and the viability of rewilding strategies in the context of biodiversity and climate crises.

• Fostering Collective Action: Engaging in multi-stakeholder dialogues and forging strong partnerships that will upscale rewilding in policy formulation and on-the-ground implementation.

• Resource Mobilisation: Connecting with stakeholders capable of mobilising and channelling funds towards addressing the biodiversity and climate change challenges via innovative rewilding solutions.

 The Rewilding Dialogue will drive every component of the wildE project. By fostering open, multi-level dialogue and shared insight from a diverse range of stakeholders, it ensures that each project facet is rooted in collective expertise and wisdom. This collaborative approach will not only inform the project’s direction but will also amplify its impact across other European and international rewilding initiatives.
