Our systematic overview of how rewilding is practiced in Europe has been published in @consletters.bsky.social. We found five distinct strategies differing in goals, interventions, and people's role as part of the rewilding process.

Happy to share my new article looking at why people do NOT use urban wild spaces
🏙️How popular are 'wild spaces' in #cities and what prevents people from visiting these greenspaces? New study by Brenda Zoderer identifies the most salient barriers to using #wildspaces, providing insight into strategies to reconnect people with #nature

Eine neue Studie der BOKU University zeigt, dass die Mehrheit der Wiener*innen der Entwicklung hin zu Flächen mit wilder Natur positiv gegenübersteht. Naturflächen können sowohl Lebensqualität, als auch Biodiversität in der Stadt steigern.

Our new paper shows strong support for #urbanrewilding among local communities; however, lower #acceptance of younger residents, non-users & deprived neighborhoods calls for context-specific adaptations to prevent environmental injustices in cities. @bokuvienna.bsky.social

9/ Brenda Maria Zonderer from the Institute of Landscape Development, Vienna, assesses the diversity of #rewilding practices in Europe. In the absence of a legal framework these initiatives are bottom-up processes, promoted by non-state actors responding to local challenges.

2/ @monicavasile.bsky.social from @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social delivers the opening keynote with 3 stories on #rewilding 's past. Following the attempts to protect Swiss Ibex, virgin forests of 🇷🇴 & European #bison, Monica shows that past legacies & plot twists still impact current conservation.

Excited to share our new paper on #urbanforaging in Vienna! We show that residents prefer large & less managed urban greenspaces for wild #foraging, providing evidence for combining urban #rewilding with #ediblecity solutions 🌿 @boku-ilen.bsky.social @bokuvienna.bsky.social

Where can we find wild nature in cities? New research shows that #wild nature can exist across diverse urban environments and greenspaces, but #rewilding efforts are particularly needed in inner #cities.
