Complemented by other coexistence measures, the programme will reduce livestock predation by Iberian wolves, enabling the recovery of this endangered carnivore.

Pedro Prata, team leader of Rewilding Portugal, explains this new expression of the world of nature conservation, how it works and our aims and role in this processes

Within the scope of the project LIFE WolFlux, Rewilding Portugal registered the presence of roe deer in monitoring actions by setting up camera traps, in an action that is coordinated by the partner University of Aveiro

The surveying work will bring a greater understanding of the distribution and abundance of roe deer populations in the area of Iberian wolf distribution south of the Douro river in Portugal, including in the Greater Côa Valley (part of the Western Iberia rewilding area). This is the first step in increasing the availability of natural prey for Iberian wolves.

The forum, oganised as part of efforts to scale up rewilding in northern Portugal’s Greater Côa Valley, was the first step in developing a network of local, rewilding-related businesses.

Rewilding Europe’s Enterprise Forum took place yesterday, an event organized by Rewilding Europe with Rewilding Portugal, at Hotel Van Guarda, in the city of Guarda, where the promotion of sustainable businesses in the Côa Valley was discussed.

A group of five griffon vultures has been tagged with GPS transmitters in the Western Iberia rewilding area in northern Portugal. By shedding new light on the birds’ foraging behaviour, the data collected from the transmitters will support the restoration of natural food chains in the area and underpin the continued comeback of this magnificent species.

In May, a photo mission took place in the Western Iberia rewilding area, and renowned photographer Juan Carlos Muñoz came to the area to capture the local landscapes and biodiversity. A young nature photographer, Daniel Santos, had the opportunity to accompany this photo mission with Juan Carlos for two days. Here is Daniel’s description of this experience.
