REWILDING
THE APENNINES
In January 2021, we partnered with leading biodiversity experts, Rewilding Europe, to help us work towards our Nature Net Positive goal and their aim of making Europe a wilder place.
Our Nature and Carbon Corridors Project aims to help rewild 5,000 hectares of the Italian Apennines over five years. Rewilding helps to restore our nature’s ecosystems and biodiversity, so that wildlife can return and thrive, while also combating climate change by increasing the land’s ability to absorb carbon. Capturing an estimated 85,000 tonnes of carbon over five years, these corridors will also help to increase the endangered Marsican bear population, and the recovery of the Apennine wolf, wild cat and other wildlife.
