RewildingBratislavaRestore Danube floodplains with BROZReconnect side channels where the river still remembers Conservation association BROZ joined the European Rewilding Network with its Rewilding Rivers and Danube Floodplains work. Nearly thirty years of wetland repair have restored about 1,200 hectares of wetlands, more than 30 kilometres of side channels, and 1,500 hectares of grazing land in south-west Slovakia. What you can do - Follow project updates and public events on broz.sk - Visit accessible Dunajské luhy floodplain areas near Bratislava with care for nesting seasons - Offer skills (monitoring, community outreach, natural grazing) when BROZ lists volunteer or partner calls How it works Teams reopen side arms, revive meadows with grazing, and work with municipalities so flood peaks have room again. ERN membership links Slovak practitioners with river rewilders across Europe. Why it matters A living Danube fringe cools cities, stores water, and brings fish and birds back without waiting for a distant mega-project.

RewildingAmsterdamJoin a wetland restoration brigade in your river deltaRewild peat and reedbeds in the delta ARK Rewilding Netherlands works with farmers and volunteers to reopen river channels, graze wetlands lightly, and bring bitterns and spoonbills back to the Rhine–Meuse delta. What you can do - Sign up for ARK volunteer days: removing drains, planting reeds, or building bird hides - Visit rewilding demonstration farms and ask how grazing herds shape wet meadows - Map ditches on your polder walk and share photos with local water boards How it works Brigades work in waders on weekends. Ecologists show which sections can flood safely and which paths stay open for cyclists. Why it matters Wet deltas store floodwater, filter farm runoff, and give city dwellers a weekend marsh full of sound and colour.

RewildingPodgoricaRewild Lake Skadar with Wilder ParksHelp Europe's largest Balkan lake stay wild Lake Skadar National Park joined Rewilding Europe's European Rewilding Network and the Wilder Parks frontrunners. Rangers and partners are restoring food webs, tackling invasive false indigo, and protecting a record Dalmatian pelican colony so communities around the lake can build wildlife-watching livelihoods. What you can do - Visit the park from Virpazar or Vranjina: buy tickets via Nacionalni parkovi Crne Gore and join a marked trail or boat trip - Respect no-disturbance zones around pelican nesting islands during breeding season - Follow the rewilding story on Rewilding Europe and support park partners when volunteer days open How it works Rewilding Europe works with the Agency of Montenegro National Parks and local partners on natural grazing, migratory fish habitat, and anti-poaching capacity. Visitors keep pressure low while nature-based tourism grows. Why it matters A lake that feeds fishers and birders can also host one of Europe's strongest pelican recoveries when people and parks share one wild vision.

RewildingBelgradeTara National Park: fog catchers for Pančić's spruceProtecting a living fossil on Europe's last wild mountain Tara National Park won the Green Innovation Leaders 2026 award for conserving the unique Crveni potok peat bog, the only place on Earth where Pančić's spruce (Picea omorika) grows on sphagnum moss rather than rock. Rangers and biologists installed fog catchers to stabilise moisture as drought and heat threaten this relict Balkan forest. What you can do - Visitors: walk marked trails around Mitrovac and Zaovine; follow park guidance and stay on paths in protected reserves - Volunteers and students: contact Nacionalni park Tara about guided visits and conservation programmes - Neighbourhood groups: learn from Tara's fog-catcher pilot as a replicable tool for drought-stressed wetlands How it works Fine mesh nets condense atmospheric moisture into storage basins, supplementing the bog's water budget through dry seasons. The project partners with the University of Belgrade Faculty of Biology under the EU Green Agenda for Serbia initiative. Why it matters Pančić's spruce survived ice ages; climate change is its next test. Tara shows that local stewardship and appropriate technology can buy time for irreplaceable biodiversity.
