Goals: Wild Europe was formally launched in 2009 at an EC Presidency conference in Prague. We became a Foundation in 2022, registered as a Stichting under Dutch law.
Our objectives, which are focused mainly on 2 habitat types, wetlands and forests in Europe, are the following
- promote the protection, restoration and extension and linkage of large natural ecosystems in Europe, according to principles of non-intervention, with management by natural process
- develop & support initiatives for this work, in liaison with a broadly based trans-European network of organisations & individuals having similar objectives
- support a range of wilderness area models for non-intervention, to be protected in perpetuity
- promote the multiple values of wilderness and wild areas in support of these objectives, through advocacy and other forms of representation
