The new partnership recognises Rewilding Europe’s pivotal role in promoting rewilding as a mainstream approach to ecosystem restoration. As we embark on the UN Decade, it underlines the need to scale up rewilding now.
Rewilding Europe has become an official supporting partner of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (hereafter the UN Decade). The partnership, which sees Rewilding Europe join a select group of organisations, underlines the added value of our rewilding mission and work to promote rewilding as a mainstream approach to landscape-scale ecosystem restoration.
The UN Decade, which will launch on World Environment Day (June 5) and run through to 2030, aims to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems on every continent and in every ocean.
As a supporting partner, Rewilding Europe will continue its efforts to promote and accelerate the restoration of ecosystems through rewilding, while helping others to do the same.
“We are delighted with this new cooperation and the recognition that it brings,” says Rewilding Europe Managing Director Frans Schepers. “Rewilding at scale can absorb enormous amounts of carbon, restore natural systems, and make the planet a better place to live. But we must act now – using rewilding principles and deploying legally binding targets – to ensure its positive impact is delivered at the necessary scale over the next decade and beyond.”
