What backs it

Ten parks were formally introduced at Belgium's Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse National Park as part of a European rewilding initiative. Nearly 790,000 hectares of land and sea are set to receive rewilding support through 2030, with each park creating site-specific action plans to restore natural processes like grazing, flooding, and water movement.
