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

2025 has taken us through many key milestones: from rivers flowing freely once again to communities choosing to move forward together. Season after season, these results show how rewilding becomes a tangible reality through people, patience and collective action.

From the breeding and rearing centres for native crayfish and Mediterranean trout, where the animals are raised and prepared for their return to the wild, to the removal of river barriers, the work of Rewilding Apennines is changing the fate of the Apennine rivers.

Approximately 2,500 genetically characterized Mediterranean trout fry will be released into the Romito stream in Morino, part of the Liri River basin, thereby revitalizing the river ecosystem.
