Marine biologist Carlos M. Duarte, widely acknowledged as one of the world’s leading scientists in marine ecosystems and in the development of solutions to address climate change, has recently joined the Board of Trustees of Rewilding Spain. This appointment will enable the Foundation to take on new challenges in the recovery of marine ecosystems and further consolidates Rewilding Spain as the leading organisation in Spain in the field of rewilding and ecological restoration.

With the black vulture as its central figure, the environmental education programme Rewilding Educa organised field trips throughout 2025 for more than 750 primary and secondary school pupils from the Alto Tajo, the Serranía de Cuenca and the Sierra de Albarracín regions—an excellent opportunity to learn about a key species for the health of ecosystems.

A small herd of six Przewalski’s horses has just arrived in the Alto Tajo Natural Park in Castilla-La Mancha, a protected landscape of deep canyons, vast pine forests and some of the wildest terrain in the Iberian Highlands. Their mission is as simple as it is transformative: to bring back the natural grazing that once shaped these ecosystems, opening up habitats, boosting biodiversity and reducing the risk of wildfires.

Rewilding Spain and Wilderway have organised two events to connect companies that want to advance their commitment to sustainability with projects that are already offering real investment options in nature and the future. An opportunity to combine business profitability with nature restoration.

Sixteen specimens of the cinereous vulture have just been released as part of the reintroduction programme for this species in the Alto Tajo and Serranía de Cuenca areas. This was the largest release since the programme began in 2020.

Rewilding Spain opens call for grants targeting companies and self-employed individuals who are starting or developing business activities aligned with rewilding principles in the landscape.

Resin collection has been a traditional work in different areas in the Iberian Highlands for decades, particularly in the Alto Tajo region. However, the characteristics of the market, price fluctuations and rural depopulation have led this traditional craft almost to extinction. Despite this, resin could be an opportunity for the region, and the Resin School run by Rewilding Spain in the Molina de Aragón-Alto Tajo region wants to help take advantage of it.

Nature fairs are a valuable meeting point for the regions hosting them, as these events connect nature lovers with experts, professionals, and local businesses and organisations with the capacity to showcase the area at its best. Rewilding Spain has been actively involved this June in two events that highlight the natural and cultural heritage of the Iberian Highlands: Naturtajo and Serranía Rural Fair.

Tragacete will host the fourth edition of the Feria Rural de la Serranía, in June 20-22. The event is aimed at boosting the potential of the Serranía de Cuenca as a tourist destination thanks to the richness of its natural and cultural heritage.
