ARK Nature and Rewilding Europe

ARK Nature is one of the founding partners of Rewilding Europe and it is involved together with Rewilding Europe in many joint actions and initiatives. ARK Nature is an innovative nature conservation organization, based in The Netherlands, that aims to demonstrate in practice how changes in society can provide new opportunities for nature and landscape. Rewilding Europe brings a new conservation vision for Europe, with wild nature and natural processes as its key elements, where rewilding is applicable to any type of landscape or level of protection.  Treating nature as something that is fully capable of taking care of itself, if given the opportunity to do so.  This concept could become the main management principle for many natural areas in the future. Just let nature take care of itself.  III WEBSITE III
