Bulgaria

• Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme-funded Restoration Landscapes Projects: Iron Curtain to Greenbelt "The formerly closed border between Bulgaria and neighbouring Greece and Turkey, from the Rhodope mountains in the West to the Black Sea in the East, is one of Europe’s biodiversity hotspots, hosting 81 IUCN Red List species. It is the stronghold of the national breeding population of eastern imperial eagle and is frequented by vultures, wolves and jackals. The area has been degraded by forest conversion, ploughing, and climate change causing an escalating number and increased intensity of fires. The project will replace coniferous plantations with natural riverine and deciduous forests, and restore water sources and grasslands to create a thriving ecological network that supports species recovery."

• Rewilding Europe: Rhodope Mountains "Rhodope Mountains is the most important breeding area for griffon vultures in Bulgaria. The whole region is also a stronghold  for wolf and jackal." 

Denmark

• Grazelands Rewilding "is committed to restoring wild European landscapes with more biodiversity. The key lies in landscapes where we as humans no longer intervene with machines, but where natural processes are guiding. And where large grazers work in the rhythm of nature, in other words Grazelands!"

Lolland

• Saksfjed Vildmark "ligger på Lollands sydspids.
  
  Området har en helt særlig betydning pga. sin placering som brohovedet til Nordeuropa, og som en vigtig del af adskillige arters migrationsrute med mindst 255 forskellige observerede fuglearter og et potentiale til endnu flere.
  
  Området er nabo til et af Fugleværnsfondens største naturreservater, nemlig det 217 hektar store Saksfjed-Hyllekrog. Tilsammen har området potentiale til at blive et af de væsentligste naturområder for biodiversitet i form af fugle, insekter og andre arter, der bevæger sig frit. Det samlede område vil være ca. 1.000 hektarer, dvs. ca. 10 km2 hvilket svarer nogenlunde til 1.500 fodboldbaner."

• Naturpark Nuthe-Nieplitz "Der Landschafts-Förderverein wurde 1991 mit dem Ziel gegründet, "Natur und Landschaft insbesondere in der Nuthe-Nieplitz-Niederung zu schützen, zu erhalten und zu entwickeln." Seit nunmehr 30 Jahren tragen wir mit unserer Arbeit „Für Mensch und Natur“ (siehe Chronik) maßgeblich zum Erhalt der biologischen Vielfalt und zum Schutz der natürlichen Schönheit der Nuthe-Nieplitz-Niederung bei. Mit der zunehmenden Qualifizierung unserer Angebote zur Umweltbildung, sind wir bestrebt das Bewusstsein für die Notwendigkeit zum Schutz der Natur vor unserer Haustür zu vermitteln und zu stärken. "

• Planet Wild: Harz National Park Forest "In our third mission we partnered with Harz National Park to turn things around and help transform this stressed ecosystem into a strong and climate resilient forest. With the help of our community we planted a total of 5,000 deciduous trees between the deadwood to ensure the new sprouting forest was future proof.
  
  This rewilding strategy helps the Harz fight back against climate change, propagating a diverse mix of seeds deep into the forest floor over the coming years and rebuilding the ecosystem over time."

• Planet Wild: Little Owls "For our fourth mission we traveled to the Nuthe Nieplitz region in Germany to give the Little owl a fighting chance to return. The region was shaped by state-operated mega-farms during the GDR that destroyed the landscape's rich biodiversity. Since German reunification, organization’s like LFV-NNN have stepped in to bring it back." Nesting Boxes for Little Owls

• Planet Wild: Oder Delta "The Planet Wild community funded the creation of new breeding grounds for fish in two of the Oder’s tributaries: the Ina and Gowienica rivers. This was done by replenishing the river beds with gravel. Alongside new breeding grounds, the method improves oxygenation, water cleansing and supports new habitats."

• Planet Wild: Return of the Lynx "The Eurasian lynx is Europe’s largest wild cat, known for its distinctive spotted fur, incredible senses and shy nature. They were once widespread throughout Europe, commanding territories up to four times the size of Barcelona, but habitat destruction and fur hunting meant the wild cat has been completely extinct in Germany and other parts of Europe since 1850. In mission 7 we ventured into the Harz National Park to bring them back."

Italy

• Casa dei Pesci "is a nonprofit association, formed in 2012. Our mission is the protection of the marine environment.
  
  In our action, we were inspired by the work of Paolo Fanciulli, Paolo the Fisherman, an artisanal fisherman and environmental guide, who has been fighting for the defense of the sea of the Maremma for over forty years.
  
  We intend to develop projects for the conservation and protection of the marine environment, using art as a means of raising public awareness.
  
  Our projects are mainly aimed at the sea of Maremma, but our message does not want to stop there!
  
  The Association wants to set itself up as an example of good practice both nationally and internationally."

• Planet Wild: Underwater Sculptures in Italy "Casa dei Pesci held a month-long event where artists created five new marble sculptures. Alongside these, protective cement blocks were dropped off the coast to protect sea life from bottom trawling. These blocks are specifically designed with holes to provide marine life with new homes lost to harmful fishing. Thanks to the incredible support of the Planet Wild community, five sculptures and 40 protective blocks have been added to the coastline, helping to keep Posidonia and the ecosystem safe."

• Planet Wild: European Bison "Thanks to your help, we were able to use technology to help Poland’s bison thrive. Your membership helped ZTP purchase and equip a herd with three GPS tracking collars, and pay for a thermal camera crucial to spotting bison in the wild — despite their size, they’re masters of camouflage!"

England

• Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme-funded Restoration Landscapes Projects: Cumbria Connect "Cumbria, a county in the North-West of England, is home to some of the UK’s most prized landscapes which provide habitat for rare species such as red kite, melancholy thistle and European water vole. Over the centuries, intensive land management approaches have unintentionally caused the landscape to become degraded and fragmented. The plans for agricultural transition following the UK’s departure from the EU have created a unique opportunity for stakeholders to work in partnership to transform this landscape. The project will seek to build a consensus for nature restoration in this renowned upland landscape that, in turn, will help to underpin a sustainable local economy."

• Camp Monarch "is a newly founded nonprofit committed to addressing the loss of vital habitats for the Monarch Butterfly and many other species across North America.  Right now, we are a small but dedicated team of passionate individuals determined to take action for wildlife and biodiversity. Our work begins by laying the foundation for a network of habitat restoration projects, with a focus on empowering landowners to be part of the solution.
  
  As we get started, we’re recruiting founding members who share our vision of restoring fragmented ecosystems and reconnecting wildlife corridors. Our work may still be in its early stages, but we know that with the right people, every small step will lead to big impact."

• The Native Seed Network "is a resource for people working to add native plants back into the landscape. Since 2002 we have been working with land managers, seed producers, and restoration professionals to share information about native seed and improve our knowledge about and access to native seed.
  
  The Native Seed Network connects people and organizations involved with all aspects of native seed, from collection, development, production, and use in restoration. Our vision is for restoration and rehabilitation projects to be supported by an abundance of quality seed that is both appropriate for the site and affordable.
  
  The Native Seed Network is the producer of the National Native Seed Conference."
