🦬 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻
 
A few weeks ago, we escaped our office and headed to the wild Southern Carpathians to join the Rewilding Romania team and a group of curious travellers for their 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 🌲

In the Țarcu Mountains, the rangers shared stories from the field: what it really takes to bring the 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 back to these mountains, and what it means for the people who now live alongside them.
🍎We harvested apples in orchards at the forest edge to keep wildlife out of the villages and support local farmers.
With the 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 we followed bison tracks, retrieved camera trap data and picked up GPS signals with antennas 🐾
Through the 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 programme we visited barriers set for removal, tested water quality, and went out after dark with thermal cameras to spot beavers 🌊🦫.

Every day ended around a table, with dinners cooked by local neighbours and a festive “𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻” feast in a village home 🍲
This week was a small window into the work that 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 does every day on the ground, and we share some photos here with all of you.💚
 
📅 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻 and spots are limited! Stay tuned  so you don’t miss the launch 🦬

Wildlife is making a comeback across Europe, and how we experience it matters. That’s why every trip on Wilder Places is built around a few simple principles:

🔭 Nature leads, we follow
🧭 Local guides who know their wild neighbours
🐾 Wildlife sets the terms, and no encounter is ever guaranteed
🌍 Every visit supports landscapes where nature is returning

Done well, rewilding tourism helps make wildlife’s return worth celebrating for the people who live alongside it.

What does it feel like to live alongside wildlife that is making a comeback? 🐻🌿

In the latest episode of the podcast 𝑴𝒂𝒚 𝑰 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒓?, Bart Schutz, our Wilder Places Manager, talks about what travellers can discover in rewilding landscapes beyond beautiful scenery.

It’s the people, their stories and the everyday experience of sharing these places with returning wildlife.

Through Wilder Places, we’re helping travellers discover these landscapes while supporting nature-based tourism and creating opportunities for local communities to benefit from the return of nature. 🌍
