Across Europe, wildlife is making a comeback, and travellers are finding new ways to experience it first-hand.

🐎 On Croatia’s Lika Plains, photographic safaris take visitors into a landscape where semi-wild horses and Tauros roam beneath the Velebit Mountains. Their grazing helps maintain a mosaic of grasslands and scrub, supporting a rich variety of wildlife.

From tracking bears in ancient forests to exploring wildlife-rich deltas, rewilding tourism gives travellers a chance to discover how landscapes are recovering, while creating opportunities for local businesses and the communities connected to them, and, of course, enjoy memorable trips. 🤝

Through Wilder Places, travellers can discover and book wildlife experiences and nature-based stays across European rewilding landscapes, with up to 15% of every booking fee going back into the landscape visited.

🏆 This approach to tourism recently received recognition at the 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 in Seville, where Wilder Places took second place in the 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 & 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝, standing out among more than 200 entries.

🌍 How can communities live well alongside returning wildlife?

As wildlife returns across Europe, those working with local communities play an important role in helping people and wildlife thrive together.

🎉 𝗔 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲!

We’re thrilled to share that the Postcode Loterij has renewed its long-standing partnership with Rewilding Europe, committing €1 million in flexible funding every year from 2027 to 2031.

The Postcode Lottery first supported Rewilding Europe in 2011, helping give our initiative a strong start. Since 2013, its long-term, unrestricted support has helped rewilding grow across Europe.

🤝 What makes this support particularly valuable is its flexibility. It allows us to respond to new opportunities, support rewilding teams and partners in the landscapes where they work, and help wildlife and natural processes recover.

A huge thank you to the Postcode Lottery and, most importantly, to its participants, whose support makes this possible. 💚

This World Habitat Day, we’re looking at how people and wildlife share space across Europe 🌍

Beavers are building dams in urban waterways, peregrine falcons are nesting on city buildings, and wolves and bears are moving through landscapes shaped by people. Wildlife is finding ways to live alongside us. 🦫🦅🐺

But wildlife can only adapt so far. Roads, fragmented habitats and disturbance can make it harder for species to move and recover. Healthier, better-connected landscapes can give them more space to do so.

Coexistence works both ways. As wildlife adapts to us, we also need to find ways to adapt to wildlife: creating wildlife crossings, using livestock guardian dogs, protecting ecological corridors and making more room for natural processes.

The future of Europe’s nature will not only be shaped in remote forests and protected areas. It will also be shaped in the landscapes we share every day.
