The European Green Belt is a prototype for grounding nature-based solutions with rewilding

Wang, Lanhui LU orcid and Svenning, Jens-Christian (2025) In Nature Reviews Biodiversity 1. p.745-747
Abstract
Following the line of the former Iron Curtain, the European Green Belt links protected areas across 24 countries, and restores key wildlife populations, wetlands and rural livelihoods. Its success proves that rewilding-grounded nature-based solutions can transform war-scarred frontiers into biodiversity-rich, climate-resilient lifelines, and challenges policymakers to replicate such mega-corridors worldwide.
