After a year of work, next Thursday 11th July we will premiere the short documentary film “Breathing new life into the Iberian Highlands”, directed by the award-winning French filmmaker Emmanuel Rondeau, from White Fox Pictures, and which is part of a documentary series produced by Rewilding Europe.
Tragacete municipality and Rewilding Spain have partnered to organise this event, that will take place in June 21-23, also in collaboration with Cuenca Province and Castilla-La Mancha governments.
Rewilding Spain and La Balluca brewery partner to create a new beer that helps to spread the word on the role of natural grazing by Serrano horses in the Alto Tajo region.
Rewilding Spain signs the first agreement to preserve an old-growth forest in the Serranía Alta de Cuenca region, which will allow the recovery of ecological processes and also provide income to the municipality thanks to future carbon sequestration rights trading.
Only one year and a half after public kick-off, the Iberian Highlands rewilding initiative is working on the forest restoration and wildfires prevention over 11,000 hectares of land, has created 15 jobs and has allocated more than 200,000 euros to fund local business initiatives in the landscape.
Taking place on March 20 with the theme #HopeintoAction, this year’s World Rewilding Day will celebrate rewilding and showcase its real-world impact. Let’s rewild now for nature, climate and people.
By generating healthier natural spaces and encouraging nature to be a lever for socio-economic development, rewilding can also be a powerful tool in the shared mission of addressing depopulation in rural areas.
Rewilding Spain will present a practical bilingual birdwatching guide and will share information about the Alto Tajo Natural Park, the Geopark Comarca de Molina-Alto Tajo and some ecotourism local companies.
Two Cinereous vulture specimens (Aegypius monachus) have arrived at the acclimatisation aviary of the reintroduction project in Alto Tajo and Serranía de Cuenca regions.
What does rewilding mean? Why are tauros important? The Rewilding Educa programme combines field visits and in-class activities about the role of tauros and other large herbivores in ecosystem restoration. Young people are the future of the planet and it is important that they know these answers.
