The Velebit Mountains are a 145km long mountain chain in Croatia. On the face of it, these forested hillsides seem like a rich wilderness area, but beneath the canopy, humans have shaped the land and the array of animals that live here.
The Rewilding Velebit team is reinvigorating trophic chains through reintroductions of herbivores and carnivores alike. They're on a journey to transform the extractive economies of forestry and hunting tourism into more regenerative ways of making a living, through eco-tourism and carbon sequestration.
The Velebit Mountains is one of ten inspiring Rewilding Landscapes across the continent, set up by Rewilding Europe with local teams on the ground.
