RewildingAmsterdamProforestation: let forests grow oldHalt management and measure carbon and biodiversity gains The WILDCARD Horizon Europe project studies proforestation, leaving forests to mature without extraction, as a rewilding pathway that can store carbon and shelter rare species. What you can do - Read how WILDCARD assesses proforestation across Mediterranean and Alpine forests on their proforestation work page - Discuss where local woods could keep standing deadwood, old trees, and undisturbed understory - Follow project papers and the WILDCARD Rewilding Forum for stakeholder dialogue Why it matters Old forests are living archives, when we stop treating every stand as timber, climate and wild neighbours both benefit.
