In our efforts to rewild landscapes and bring back wild ecosystems, we have teamed up with El Encinarejo and the European Bison Conservation Center of Spain. We are helping them track and monitor a recently reintroduced herd of bison.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
Like many European countries, Spain is undergoing a process of widespread land abandonment. For decades, the landscape in Andalucía has been shaped by grazing by both wild and domestic herbivores. The current trend of abandoning livestock grazing activities and removing livestock from the landscape is having serious consequences for the open and semi-open habitats that many species there thrive on, such as wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and red-legged partridges (Alectoris rufa), important prey species for the endangered Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus). As open areas become dense with vegetation, they also become more at risk of forest fires. The European bison (Bison bonasus), or wisent, is the largest herbivore in Europe and is considered a keystone species, having a profound impact on the landscape through its grazing and trampling behaviour. Listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN red list, their reintroduction to the Spanish landscape could have profound benefits for restoring these vital habitats and supporting the range expansion of the rare European bison.
