From the Cuenca natural park and up to the Alto Tajo, this 10th rewildling project has already started….. There is a great article at the Guardian newspaper
Rewilding Europe’s 10th project ‘has potential to benefit both nature and people’ in one of the continent’s least populated areas
Black vultures, lynx and wild horses are among the animals being reintroduced to eastern Spain with the launch of a rewilding project spanning 850,000 hectares (2.1m acres) in the Iberian highlands east of Madrid.Article in the Guardian here: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/19/rewilding-europe-project-spain-lynx-wild-horses-black-vultures-in-eastern-spain-aoe

I have written a few words about this project over at Wildside Holidays….
The Iberian highlands rewilding project
If this project is a success it will create an impressive backdrop and opportunity for sustainable wildlife tourism in Spain. Hides for bird photography in steppe environments, Iberian lynx, raptors and other birds of prey along with large mammals will certainly draw the attention of companies that offer this type of wildlife holiday. Hopefully (and perhaps most importantly) many local companies will also be able to take advantage of this extra protection given to this massive and impressive area in Eastern Iberia.

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.

Wild horses return to the Alto Tajo
The caballo serrano, also known as the “Serranía de Guadalajara horse,” is a breed native to the central Iberian Peninsula, specifically the mountainous region of the Serranía de Guadalajara. This breed has played an important role in local rural culture for centuries.
