This is an amazing project and one I would love to see all over our continent. Everywhere around me I see precious greenspace being concreted over in order to build yet more housing. Its heartbreaking especially as there are old renovation projects still be completed. The government doesnt seem interested in saving its architectural heritage but merely in destroying it's natural environment for quick profit.
It is happening in the United States, also. It simply breaks my heart. It is accelerating every few years. Even the area I grew up in was once wilderness. Now One can drive from Wisconsin to Chicago and not see any gap in development. Absolute mayhem, because many buildings end up empty. Parking lots are abandoned eventually. It's just pointless.
I so agree with you! I feel so sad every time I see wild green space being concreted over. We need to make rewilding a priority everywhere it is possible.
Nice idea and concept. Coa hunter-gatherers very probably left their legacy in many locals, because that´s what I saw when I was there. So Rewilding Europe is not only protecting nature, landscapes and culture, but the ancient locals that are part of this ancient complex intricate of human interactions with nature. At 5.56 m, on the right, that´s quite visible, for example, but I could mention more... There are also Predmost and Combe Capelle types, by the way.
Agricultura biologica com alojamento para touristas é rentavel e sustentavel. Quem me dera ter essa rewilding na serra Algarvia. Aqui o caçador é que manda !
It's an amazing project. It saddens me to see amazing natural landscapes to be destroyed only just for people to create another McDonald's or supermarket
Instead of adding wifi to our national parks, maybe rewilding should be considered. It would reduce armchair tourism pressure while ensuring our wildlife will continue to have a place to call home. No ebikes - you have to walk or go on electric powered buses with multiple stops.
Why do not rewild Germany, France and Benelux instead of Portugal and Spain? And then they would become tourist guides for us for our holidays (if it doesn't rain).
The spanish Hunter: "A good hunter is a the best ecologist". Not if there are too many "good hunters"... And later: "There use to be a lot of hunters because there were lots of preys... but not now because of factors" 😑 The only good hunters are those who only kill invasive species and/or are temporally replacing a lost preciding predator.
The balance with wolves is a good measure and hunting them should not be permitted as in Germany which suffers from to many grazing wild animals who multiply so much that even intensive hunting is unable to bring the necessary balance.
I've noticed several of these videos, people seem to be from other parts of Europe. Their accent is noticeably different. It seems like those are the ones resistant to what is happening. Trying to keep the gravy train going. Just my opinion, and I'm not from there. So I am probably wrong.
We need rewilding all over the world, it's the only way to reverse climate change the natural way. Give Mother Earth the chance to heal herself, because Earth is the great nurturer, provider.
Rewilding does not usually introduce non-native species, so the concerns of the hunter are not necessarily valid. People who expect to see "big game" will be disappointed by an area like this and personally I think it is better not to try to appeal to this kind of ecotourist. People who truly value the natural world will love the area for its distinctive flora and fauna and wild character, and that is who I would target. Governments need to put regulations in place to stop such areas being spoilt by over-exploitation, which will "kill the goose that lays the golden eggs" and in the end destroy them. My personal view is that we should start with a fundamental rule that the area exists for the sake of the other non-human creatures, and then allow humans to interact with it but always with the wellbeing of those other creatures at the forefront. Otherwise it will be more of the same corrupt attitude that says the Earth only exists for the good of humans, and the domestic animals they exploit. Look at how that is working out in the 21st century!
@@JornSilverblade brown bears and grizzly bears are the same thing, brown is usually used for coastal bears and grizzly for inland bears, but they are the same species
@@sully9937 Grizzlys are a subspecies of brown bear, thats why i was joking. Every grizzly bear is also a brown bear on the species level, but not every brownbear is a grizzly. Maybe I'm just a bit too accurate.^^
@@JornSilverblade I see them to be more psuedo-sub species. No genetic variance, just environment. It's kind of like the Caspian and amur tiger, the same tiger but look and behave different due to being in separate environments.
pois. é coisa que honestamente nao entendo: queremos rewild, mas depois queremos na mesma sacar economia á natureza! queremos chupar a natureza para fazermos dinheiro: com caça tours passeios casas rurais, safaris, baloes etc etc... e isto é entendivel dado que é impossivel fazer negocios com a natureza. um parque só por si nao da lucro. mas tem que dar pelos vistos, segunda a visao destas pessoas: vamos entao por passeio, hoteis sustentaveis, passadiços, abrir caminhos etc etc. aos 8.07 ao ver aquele magote de gente penso: isto é que é rewilding? encher a natureza de turistas? passamos da pressao turistica nas cidades para a natureza? mas atençao acho a ideia do rewild espetacular!!
Pois, mas agora eu sou obrigado a perguntar. Tu achas que as pessoas aceitariam perder as suas terras para a natureza sem ter nenhum lucro com isso (perdendo a única fonte de rendimento). E tu achas que mesmo quem vive longe aceita pagar impostos para proteger aí espécies sem fazer um único cêntimo? Tem que haver benefícios económicos em rewilding para encorajar a ideia. Agricultura sustentável, turismo e caça faria a economia da região diversa e sustentável Eu tenho as minhas dúvidas sobre este em especifico, pois o que parecia é que simplesmente abandonaram plantações antigas e chamaram isso de rewilding. Mas o turismo pode ser feito em zonas protegidas e naturais. Olha o turismo na Amazónia por exemplo. Desde de que seja feito com cuidado rewilding pode ser ambos lucrativo e bom para o ambiente. Tentar sacar dinheiro da natureza não é mau, faze-lo sem cuidado é que é.
@@joaquimbarbosa896 para já o tu... nao... nao me faça isso. depois a ultima frase diz tudo e corresponde bem ao paradigma liberal que se transformou em neoliberal e que nos pomos onde chegamos: lucro sim mas sem exageros diziam os liberais (o mercado corrige erros de excesso e equilibra a economia). isso nao aconteceu. a ganancia falou e falará sempre mais alto. enquanto nao se mudar de paradigma e acabar com este neoliberalismo devorador da natureza e da nossa sociedade, nao vamos a lado nenhum. ja agora PT é um dos paises com menos area floresta publica (5%) paises ricos e grandes tem grande florestas e zonas verdes publicas. logo, nao me parece que seja o privado a ter que conduzir os destinos da natureza e a lucrar com ela.

We have it, to a degree, in our Naional and State parks, there is quite of wilderness in the system. However, there are areas that do need rewilding due to over-urbanization.
They speak of rewilding and in the next breath they talk about more hunting. Seems that hunting is one of the major reasons they have a problem to begin with
You misunderstood. You see hunting is a very Important part of conservation, it might sound contradictory but let me explain. Hunting is a heavily regulated activity, only a certain number of animals can be allowed to be hunted and only a certain number of hunting tages are handed out to various hunters who pay large sums to purchase said tags. By doing this the money they pay to hunt is put into conservation efforts and into keeping the animals in the reserve safe and well kept. They also can only hunt a certain number of animals so over hunting isn’t a worry, they also only will hunt fully grown and mature animals who have already passed on their gens. Not to mention the fact that they can only hunt certain animals during certain months of the year, so the population has time to recover.
the guy is hunting wild boar, which probably breed (crazy!) like pigs! too many pigs destroy the land, eating everything in sight! solution: kill the little, psychotic bastards!..... :-0
A great project for the future of Europe and for the future of our childs! Fantastic
Mossy Earth is doing a lot of projects of rewilding in Iberia
Ecosia is also helping in regenerative agriculture in Spain
Pls support them
Keep up the great work. Make Europe wilderness gain prosperity Again.

How can re-wilding be prioritized without farmers becoming tour guides?
can we have an update to ee how things are going now 2023

These projects could be the seeds of a more natural, less toxic future...
All animals deserve their space, its about time us .... humans.... realize it
This planet is not owned by humans... respect it and its inhabitants

What about carnivores.
Wait for big herbivore populations
The wolf is already present in the region and bears are not so far away, they might return.
@@bossito actually, I live in portugal, the wolf populations are only found in the far north of the peninsula

Dutch :)

@@TeslaKuhn8 A lot of the other videos are in Romania. It sounds like Portuguese because it's also derived from Latin.

Big business is going to move in and take over. Safaris for rich people. It looks like a new land clearance to me.
Lets not forget that the biggest concentration of brown bears in the world is in the Carpathians, Romania. Beat that Yellowstone.
In Yellowstone there are grizzly bears and black bears, no brown bears xD
