SFS Italy: Pastures and Predators: Rewilding Central Italy
Program Overview
What does it take to restore nature in landscapes shaped by centuries of agriculture? In this immersive program based in rural Central Italy, students explore how ecosystems can recover in working agricultural lands, from olive groves and vineyards to rewilding mountain pastures.
Fieldwork, excursions, and community engagement offer a firsthand look at the ecological and cultural dimensions of restoration, as well as the conflicts and cooperation between wildlife conservation and food production. Students learn how restoration is unfolding on the ground, navigating both EU-level policy and the lived realities of farmers, rangers, and rewilding advocates.
