Wilde Zwijnen

Wilde Zwijnen is a research project, not a bar or a club. It's a Horizon Europe thing focused on climate-smart rewilding, which is basically a fancy way of saying they're figuring out how to let nature do its thing while dealing with climate change and all the messy human stuff around it. The vibe here is less "night out" and more "interdisciplinary nerds who actually care." They're pulling together environmental scientists, social scientists, and economists to figure out how rewilding can actually work at scale, not just in scattered local spots. They've got case studies across Europe, from urban to rural, and they're building a knowledge hub so people can actually use their findings. If you're into ecology, policy, or just want to understand how we might fix some of the damage we've done, this is worth a look. It's not a venue you visit, it's a project you follow. And honestly, that's kind of refreshing.

wildE: climate-smart rewilding









An innovative approach to ecological restoration that benefits the climate and biodiversity while addressing the needs of local communities.
























































Human interference in natural ecosystems has caused wide-spread ecological destruction. To combat climate change and biodiversity loss, we need to restore significant areas of the ecosystems that we have destroyed.









To do so, we must step back and let nature take control.









Rewilding is a form of ecological restoration centred around processes that help ecosystems to regulate themselves, whilst reducing human control and pressures. Rewilding has the potential to help us achieve our restoration goals and to mitigate the impacts of the environmental crises, but only if it is carried out on a much larger scale. By developing climate-smart rewilding, our vision is for a future where rewilded landscapes are valued and can support us in achieving our climate, land-use, economic and societal goals.





















































































































By bringing together experts from the environmental sciences, social sciences and economics, the wildE project is developing climate-smart rewilding, a holistic approach to rewilding that considers climatic, economic and societal challenges in order for ecological restoration to become a financially viable nature-based solution which benefits both public and private stakeholders.Funded by Horizon Europe, the wildE project uses detailed surveys and models to evaluate the potential impact of rewilding on carbon and biodiversity, today and in a warmer future.









What we do















Find out about our research

















































We are carrying out in-depth research at eight case study sites across Europe, to gather first-hand information on rewilding across a mixture of urban, peri-urban and rural landscapes.
