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 - encourage initiatives that seek to uphold Europe’s positive influence in protecting wilderness areas elsewhere in the world
