Rewilding Apennines among eight new European initiatives selected by the Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme to drive large-scale ecological restoration.

Supported by funding from the Open Rivers Programme, Rewilding Apennines will oversee the removal of five weirs on the Giovenco River. This will breathe new life into the river ecosystem and deliver benefits to local communities.

Everything is ready in Gioia dei Marsi for the three days dedicated to the protection of biodiversity, the restoration of ecosystems, the socio-economic benefits of living in healthy nature and the practices of human-wildlife coexistence.

In the 51° World Earth Day we want to pay tribute to the ecosystem services of the Central Apennines rewilding area.
