Last month we joined the Large Herbivore Working Group in Spain to visit projects with European bison and Przewalski’s horses. It was inspiring to see these powerful animals bringing vitality back to landscapes. 

We're proud to be a founding member of the LHWG. Find out more: https://bit.ly/4puozo1

Lifescape was at Eurolynx this week, in the Semois Valley in Belgium. Lynx reintroductions have been undertaken for >50 years across Europe, so we were able to learn from them while developing The Missing Lynx Project.  It was great to hear about the feasibility of lynx reintroduction in Belgium!

Four days left to apply for the Senior Ecologist role with us!

If you're an ecologist with BNG and project management experience, and want to play a key part in landscape scale habitat and species restoration, we'd love to hear from you.

As a remotely-working team, it's wonderful to meet up in person from time to time, and what better place to do so than at our own #rewilding site, the Natural Capital Lab at Birchfield Highlands. Some photos from a fun and fruitful team day earlier this month!

Right now, it’s the wolf. But what could be next?

One of the EU’s oldest nature laws is on the chopping block, being reopened so that countries can weaken wolf protection, contrary to scientific evidence.

We mustn't let short-term politics destroy decades of progress. Keep your #HandsOffNature
