Engaging communities with rewilding, Italy

An Educational Rewilding Seminar

As a business, we want to ensure that everything we do to create and run our trips not only reduces any negative impacts on natural ecosystems, but proactively seeks to support nature’s restoration and regeneration, which is why rewilding is a big part of our Nature First plan.

Exodus have partnered with Rewilding Apennines to rewild habitats in this region and connect the surrounding National Parks to allow safe passage of wildlife, including the endangered Marsican brown bears. We’re also continuing in our commitment to rewild 100 square metres per passenger.

In November 2023, The Exodus Travels Foundation were pleased to fund 6 students and 2 guest speakers to attend a rewilding seminar in Italy, delivered by Rewilding Apennines. The event took place in a ‘Bear Smart Community’, Gioia dei Marsi, over three days to discuss important topics such as coexistence between communities and their wildlife. It was a great success and we’re looking forward to hearing how the students will be putting their new found knowledge into practice.
