In May this year, a group of scientists, managers, and stakeholders descended upon the Tatra mountains for a three-day workshop. These attendees were gathered as part of an innovative Horizon Europe project called WildE. The aim of the project is to understand the impact of wilderness on local environments, the climate, and the people who depend on these landscapes. Armed with that knowledge, they can then offer policy recommendations to hopefully restore these places to their wild state.
The project largely focuses on eight case studies, which includes two famous valleys in Tatra National Park. To understand the goals and the methods of this project we spoke with Arndt Hampe. He is a forest ecologist and the director of the WildE project.

This
is the second report on the WildE project, a Horizon Europe intiative.
As mentioned in the first part, participants in the project gathered in
the Tatras for a three conference to discuss the Slovak case study. In
the episode we are looking at the past, present, and future of rewilding
in Tatra National Park. Through the experiences of activists,
scientists, and stakeholders, WildE members are learning about the
failures, successes, and future challenges of rewilding the Ticha and
Koprova valleys in the Tatra mountains.
