Beyond the heart of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, similar incidents are being reported throughout the region. A handful of despicable criminals, aided by the complete absence of any preventive monitoring on the ground, cast a shadow of shame over the entire Abruzzo community.

Wild Tales is the first edition of an international literary contest dedicated to rewilding.
On Saturday, August 24, Rewilding Apennines will announce and award prizes to the top three winners.

The poisoning of wildlife represents a cruel and criminal practice that we can no longer tolerate! Despite an Ordinance from the Italian Ministry of Health that details procedures in cases of suspected poisoning, reported cases rarely lead to effective investigations and convictions. Why can’t we completely eradicate this scourge?

Throughout Europe, the use of toxic substances to eliminate wildlife has its roots in ancient times when all those animals, especially predators, which posed a threat to hunting, livestock, and crops, were considered “vermin”.

Rewilding Apennines announces the first international literature competition entitled “Wild tales” to actively promote the rewilding culture.
