At the heart of our mission is the belief that rewilding should be for everyone. We are transforming neglected land into thriving ecosystems as a vibrant force against the climate crisis.
Collectively Rewilding Europe
How sylvester works
Sylvester Rewilding is forging a one-of-a-kind network of collectively owned, governed and funded wildlife sanctuaries and rewilding projects across Europe! We envision a Europe that is wilder, livelier, teeming with thriving nature, with you as its driving force.
Launching our pilot project
We'Re rewilding a Eucalyptus plantation in Galicia
This is the moment we’ve been working towards for two years: We finally have everything ready to go to buy our first plot of land and create the first of its kind collective rewilding project.
2 hectares of eucalyptus plantation in the most stunning surroundings. Located in Mañón, Galicia, this project has the huge potential to be the first stepping stone, for a wider Galician rewilding movement.
We’re in the last step of purchasing the land and ready to host the first rewilding actions this summer!

We don’t like the whole dramatic narrative, but at the current pace and scale of ecosystem destruction, it’s looking pretty grim for our species. However, the other side of this coin offers a crazy opportunity!
If we manage to rebuild healthy ecosystems on a big scale, we have a pretty good chance of turning this whole climate and biodiversity disaster around and actually build a world which is more sustainable, more diverse, more just, resilient and wild!
All we need to do is pick up our shovels, phones or whatever we can pick up to rewild our lands!
And here’s how we do it: We’ll start in Spain, where we’ll rewild our pilot plot of land, guided by the 4 returns framework.
Rewilding
Rewilding is a pragmatic and inclusive approach to restore ecosystems on a large scale by focusing on the needs of local people and trusting nature to lead the process.
4 Returns Framework
The 4 Returns framework tackles the four main losses associated with land degradation – loss of hope, social networks, biodiversity and economic value – and aims to regenerate the landscape to create 4 Returns instead: Inspiration, natural returns, financial returns and social returns.
We believe in democracy
The next level rewilding community
Who said rebuilding ecosystems had to be boring? With the #RewildingRevolution we are creating a movement that’s worth every moment while.
Turns out, rewilding works best when enjoyed with great company, food, drinks, and even a little party.
As a WildToken owner you become part of a unique community of land stewards. You’ll get the chance to jointly discuss and manage your plots in an easy and democratic way, as well as access to exclusive events and rewilding sites.
We’re Sylvester Rewilding, a young rewilding NGO which focuses on bringing people together and spreading hope that by revolutionising our land use, we stand a chance to reverse the climate, biodiversity and social crisis. We fight for biodiverse and resilient ecosystems, with humans right at the heart of them.
