Imagine European landscapes where nature thrives within and alongside villages, where wild Horses gallop freely, Bison roam woodlands, and meadows bloom with life. FREE Nature—the Foundation for Restoring European Ecosystems— has made the vision of such landscapes possible across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.
Established in 2007, as a division of ARK Rewilding, their experience goes back much further. Since the 1990s, they have promoted the importance of natural grazing. Over the course of more than 25 years, FREE Nature has acquired a wealth of knowledge about the natural lives of wild-living horses and bovine such as European bison and water buffalo.
We are honoured to welcome FREE Nature to our Alliance.

The Alliance continues to grow beyond 260+ partners around the world. This week, we venture to Chile in the wild, wind-swept landscapes of Torres del Paine, Patagonia, as we warmly welcome Fundación Cerro Guido Conservación (FCGC), our new Alliance Partner. This is a place where nature thrives alongside deep cultural traditions—where protecting biodiversity also means protecting local identity. Rooted in the unique natural and cultural heritage of Estancia Cerro Guido, Chile, the foundation is working to heal ecosystems, celebrate rural culture, and build a future where people and wildlife flourish together.

From Darwin’s finches to deep-sea corals, the Galapagos is a living laboratory of evolution – and Charles Darwin Foundation is its most dedicated caretaker. Their team of researchers, based at the Charles Darwin Research Station, studies everything from the incredible biodiversity of Galapagos to invasive species to climate change impacts across land and sea. CDF’s work has been pivotal in pulling species back from the brink, notably rewilding more than 8,000 giant tortoises and supporting countless more species. Their blend of rigorous science, bold restoration, and grassroots engagement offers a blueprint for rewilding worldwide. They work hand-in-hand with the Galapagos National Park Directorate, local communities, international scientists and donors to turn research into tangible solutions. Join us in welcoming the Charles Darwin Foundation into the Global Rewilding Alliance!

Taashii is a shining example of urban and community-led rewilding that playfully call themselves “Serial Rewilders” – and for good reason. Through their dedicated application of the Miyawaki Method, they adopting a pragmatic yet visionary model for urban rewilding. In just a few years, Taashii has brought to life several dense native forests where there once was asphalt—enhancing carbon capture, increasing biodiversity, and empowering people to protect and grow those ecosystems. We are delighted to welcome Taashi to our Alliance.
