El Pais has picked up the story: https://english.elpais.com/spain/2022-10-20/dutch-foundation-funds-large-scale-project-to-rewild-deserted-area-of-spain.html
What surprised me is that a good portion of the 2 million or so that has been allocated to this project has come from a watch company!!!!
In order to carry out this initiative, the Dutch foundation created Rewilding Spain. Its secretary general, the lawyer Mara Zamora, explains that the project has an initial funding of €2.7 million for the first three years, but is planned for a much longer term. The money comes from the Dutch foundation through two sources: a British program for large-scale conservation projects called Endangered Landscapes Programme, and a foundation owned by Cartier, the watch brand.
