REWILDING

Rewilding is a practice that seeks to reverse the extinction of species and restore ecosystems, an approach that integrates all forms of life in harmony. This biological and Rewilding strategy aims to recover the integrity of natural ecosystems that are complete, functional and self-sustaining.

Rewilding not only regenerates ecosystems, but also benefits human health, contributes to carbon sequestration, collaborates in cultural recovery, promotes nature tourism attractions and works towards greater resilience.
