🏙️ New Research: Giving space back to nature in cities? A multi-scenario analysis of the acceptability of urban rewilding among local communities ➡️ buff.ly/krr06Un

Rewilding our cities - are people on board? New study by @BrendaZoderer and Harald Wieser

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

Systematic review of how justice is conceptualized and researched within the field of ecosystem services. Nice collaborative effort, greatly led by Bruno Locatelli.

Interesse mehr über #Stadtwildnis in #Wien und unserer Forschung dazu zu erfahren? BioFrankfurt (Netzwerk für Biodiversität) hat dazu ein Interview mit mir geführt.

Looking forward to work on this three year #BiodivNBS project and explore how traditional #agroforestry systems can be scaled as nature-based solutions. Follow our project for more info and updates 👇

What a start to the #novelecosystem symposium at @tcddublin.bsky.social. One day full of inspiring talks and discussions. Two more to come. @noveleco.bsky.social

#Rewilding in Europe - Genealogies, Imaginaries and Practices of Conservation in the #Anthropocene - international conference starting next Wednesday 19th March @Museum Koenig Bonn, sponsored by
@valuepast.bsky.social

For programme and registration see

Looking forward to this event at #MuseumKoenigBonn! Interesting programme and speakers. I'll present our study on the commonalities and differences in #rewilding practices across Europe. See you in a few days 😊

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.

Conference alert! The "Rethinking Wild Europe - European Perspectives on #wilderness, #rewilding and #biodiversity conservation" conference will take place at the @univie.ac.at on Feb 7-8th.

I will give a talk on the plurality of #rewilding practices across Europe. See below for more information 👇

Great, looking foward to see you there! 😀

Looking forward to the Rewilding Futures: Citizen Zoo's rewilding conference. I will organise an interactive session on "Transforming #human-nature relationships through #rewilding?"

Join us/me in Cambridge on 17th & 18th January! 👇

Excellent #BES2024 talk by Jamie Lorimer exploring the ‘politics of mess’ and polarised debates around rewilding & messy nature

Das Umweltbundesamt veröffentlicht erstmals eine Analyse der Hotspots gefährdeter Arten und Lebensraumtypen in Österreich. Spannende Lektüre, erstellt im Auftrag des @bmk.gv.at

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

Nun sind wir auch hier angekommen, das Institut für Landschaftsentwicklung, Erholungs- und Naturschutzplanung der BOKU University (forschung.boku.ac.at/de/departmen...). Freuen uns über Follower und wenn ihr mal auf unserer Forschungsseite vorbeischaut:

Thank you Steve!

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.
