How rewilding is helping nature and people thrive in Portugal and beyond, with Pedro Ribeiro.

If you’ve ever wondered what rewilding really means – or what it takes to make it happen on the ground – this episode is for you.

We’re joined by Pedro Ribeiro, our Expert in Residence here at Conservation Careers, for a practical and inspiring look at rewilding in action.

Pedro shares what rewilding looks like across the Portuguese landscape – from restoring large grazers like horses, to supporting vultures and other scavengers, tackling invasive species, and rebuilding healthier ecosystems.

We also discuss Pedro’s career journey into rewilding, his work with communities and landowners, the kinds of jobs emerging in the field – and how you can get involved through our new Certificate in Rewilding training programme.

It’s a grounded, hopeful, and insight-packed conversation – and a “boots-on-the-ground” look at rewilding.

Enjoy.
