WILDCARD - Effects of Rewilding in Forests and Agricultural Lands on Carbon Sequestration and Diversity
Duration:
01/2024 - 12/2027
Topics:
Climate, Biodiversity, Forestry, Human-Landscape interactions
Project description
Starting in January 2024, WILDCARD is systematically assessing the impacts of two major rewilding approaches on carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation at the European scale. WILDCARD mainly focuses on proforestation and natural rewilding following agricultural land abandonment.
Prospex Institute´s role
Prospex Institute brings together citizens and stakeholders to explore local views on rewilding, identify factors that could impact each individual's perception and co-create mechanisms for continued dialogue.
In parallel to the local engagement process, PI coordinates a European level engagement process to provide an open space for discussion, cooperation and knowledge exchange through the WILDCARD Rewilding Forum.
