Three members of the European Rewilding Network presented their rewilding initiatives at the @Eurosite wilderness workshop “Communicating non intervention management strategies and dealing with public perceptions” (17-19 September) in Haarlem, The Netherlands. The first day, Coralie Herbst gave an overview on the progress of the European #bison reintroduction project taking place in the Rothaargebirge, Germany. The next day a field visit to the Dutch bison project was programmed. First Yvonne Kemp provided insights into the #Kraansvlak project (Wisenten in Kraansvlak) about how the presence of this large herbivore adds value to nature as well as recreation. On the final day of the workshop, Frank Zanderink presented the best case example of the New Thracian Gold project (Eastern Rhodopes, Bulgaria) and showed how local involvement is paving the way towards a wilder nature area. One of the goals of the European Rewilding Network is to actively share experiences with one another as we believe it will benefit Making Europe a Wilder Place. The three members of the Network nicely contributed to this exchange! #EuropeanRewildingNetwork
