Implementing the Nature Restoration Law through rewilding

Описание: With the EU Nature Restoration Law in place, we marked a decisive moment for rewilding across Europe. This law presents a major opportunity to embed rewilding into national restoration plans and scale up action on the ground. But how could this legal framework be used to deliver real, lasting change for nature and people?

In this webinar, we explored what the law meant in practice and how it could support efforts across Europe. The session featured:

⚖️ Legal context – Arie Trouwborst, Professor of Nature Conservation Law at Tilburg University, explained how the law opened up new legal opportunities for rewilding.
🧰 Practical tools – Giulia Testa, Upscaling Manager at Rewilding Europe, introduced a new guide for integrating rewilding into national plans.
🌄 Case study – Marija Krnjajić (Rewilding Velebit) and Matko Bišćan (Institute of Environmental Protection & Energy) shared on-the-ground experience from the Velebit Mountains in Croatia.

The session was moderated by Amy Duthie, Head of Upscaling at Rewilding Europe, and hosted on behalf of the European Rewilding Coalition. The event provided a space to reflect, connect, and explore how to translate the law into meaningful action.
