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.

After the European Commission announced plans to review the protection status of the wolf, a huge movement of institutions, NGOs and private citizens throughout Europe and beyond coalesced to inform that this is a wrong decision and took action to avoid it. These are Rewilding Apennines’ reasons – delivered to European Commission and President Von der Leyen – why the protection of the wolf, instead, should be kept high.

In recent days, the staff and volunteers of Rewilding Apennines and Salviamo l’Orso, during some monitoring and control activities carried out together with the Carabinieri Forestali and the Surveillance Service of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, have found a total of the carcasses of nine wolves, five Griffon vultures and two Common ravens, all of whom died of poisoning.

Rewilding Apennines extends its program to make people experience the rewilding initiatives in the Central Apennines.
The “Rewilding Experiences” are born, 3 possibilities to join the rewilding field actions. It is possible to join on the field for one day or for a one-week experience. For organizations, a two-day customized format has been designed to get them acquainted with rewilding principles.

There is no end to the indignation at the discovery of wild animals that have most likely been poisoned by real criminals.

Today, rewilding is inspiring an ever-growing number of people to support and practice nature recovery. With the theme #RewildingHope, this year’s World Rewilding Day focuses on rewilding’s beneficial impact and uplifting vision.

A new study has confirmed that Marsican brown bears play a valuable role promoting the Central Apennines as nature-based tourism destination.

In the coexistence corridor between the Monte Genzana Alto Gizio Nature Reserve and the Maiella National Park, Rewilding Apennines and the entrepreneur Eugenio Vitto Massei have embarked on a new collaboration aimed at connecting people to nature and involving them in rewilding actions in the central Apennines.

Rewilding Apennines is enhancing its work in the Central Apennines and, accordingly, needs to strengthen the communications sector.

Thanks to the participation in the international workshop on the supplementary feeding for Griffon vultures organized by the Vulture Conservation Foundation in Alghero from 18 to 20 October 2022, Rewilding Apennines benefitted a fructuous exchange of knowledge and experiences that are very useful to work at the improvement of viability of Griffon vultures’ population in the Central Apennines.
