Every year, humans intentionally leave tons of lead in nature by using it as a common material in ammunition, endangering humans, animals, water, and soil. It’s time to stop this harmful and unnecessary practice!
Can you see yourself joining a passionate and innovative team of people working to make Velebit a wilder place? We are looking for a motivated and ambitious person to join our team at the position of Rewilding Officer.
Rewilding thrives on diverse perspectives, dedication, and motivation – qualities found in all our teams. This International Women’s Day, we speak to the female leaders accelerating action in our landscapes to find out more about their passions, beliefs, and commitment to making Europe a wilder place.
We have released does and stags this autumn, for the first time it was outside our rewilding grounds, initiating direct cooperation with the managers of neighboring areas and impacting the broader Velebit region.
It is now five decades since the first chamois were reintroduced in the Velebit area, and the speies has been continuously present here ever since. While the chamois population in Velebit is gradually increasing, there is room and reason to increase numbers further, as well as increasing the amount of habitat that could support this iconic and ecologically important animal.
We have selected the best descriptions of bear encounters submitted by our visitors. Read the awarded descriptions and check out the photos and video of these exciting encounters.
Seven years ago, we started restoring water ponds, wells and springs on Velebit, in order to provide a safe source of water for wildlife on this karst terrain. So far, we have renovated or built 30 new water bodies.
Choose one or more of our promotional materials for yourself or somebody else and thus directly help finance nature protection on Velebit.
Several EU member states are not backing the important Nature Restoration Law, which was adopted in the EU parliament, although a big majority of citizens of these countries are supporting the new law, a survey shows.
Through rewilding, we preserve nature but also promote nature-based entrepreneurship that adheres to rewilding principles. The fragrance Tiana by entrepreneur Tamara Jurković from Otočac is the first product from the future Lika rewilding basket.
