We invite you to join an important online seminar dedicated to the future of Ukraine’s natural heritage

The Rewilding Ukraine team have just released a herd of seven fallow deer into the wild on the Tarutino Steppe. This exciting and long-awaited step towards a wilder landscape will deliver a range of benefits to nature and local communities.

On October 3, 2025, an online capacity-building seminar titled “Emerald Network in Ukraine – From Designation to Effective Management” was held. The event brought together over 100 participants, including representatives of government authorities, the scientific community, civil society organizations, and international partners.

This July, an educational camp on the Romanian side of the Danube Delta rewilding landscape saw 30 high school students reconnect with nature. A range of engaging activities and exciting field trips gave the children an appreciation for rewilding and inspiration for the future.

The crucial role of wild animals in wetland ecosystems and the services they provide

Rewilding Romania is expanding its team and offering two exceptional opportunities for professionals eager to contribute to rewilding efforts in the Danube Delta.

We are pleased to start the year with some encouraging news: species and habitats listed in the Resolutions of the Bern Convention may soon benefit from enhanced protection in Ukraine. This progress is linked to improvements in the management of Ukraine’s Emerald Network, and Rewilding Ukraine is proud to play an active role in this important initiative.

Despite the challenging conditions, this year has proven to be a crucial stage for the natural restoration processes in our region. Although the war has affected every part of Ukraine, we have much to share and reasons to be hopeful.

Wildlife comeback can sometimes lead to coexistence challenges. A recent example from the Ukrainian part of the Danube Delta rewilding landscape shows how simple solutions can often overcome these challenges, ensuring the recovery of wild nature benefits all.

Recently, with the efforts of Rewilding Ukraine, 20 European fallow deer and 5 red deer were released into the Tarutino steppe in the Odessa region.
