Volunteering in one of Rewilding Europes rewilding landscapes can be an unforgettable experience, transmitting our shared Rewilding Principles.
Central Apennnines, Italy
The Apennines is the second main mountain range of Italy and stretches for hundreds of kilometers from the north to the south along the spine of the country.
Among huge trees live large populations of wild herbivores like red deer, roe deer and wild boar. These species share their habitats with large herds of unfenced horses and cattle and together represent the main prey for wolves, whose density in some Apennine areas is possibly the highest in Europe. The most charismatic and famous inhabitant of the mountain forests here is the Marsican brown bear, an endemic subspecies to the region.
Here, you will be involved in actions linked to the creation of Bear Smart Communities in the home of the Marsican brown bear. This is an ambitious long-term initiative, where the local team relies on your commitment, skills and abilities to achieve the complex goals of human-wildlife coexistence. Important actions will also be performed in relation to Griffon vultures, Apennine wolf, and wildcat.
