European Rewilding Network | Rewilding Intro | Quinta do Pisão

This time our ERN member, Quinta do Pisão, is taking us on a 30-minute long journey to Portugal, more specifically to the north of Cascais in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, part of the Natura 2000 network nearby Lisbon metropolitan area.

João Cardoso de Melo is the Ecological Infrastructure Management Director at Ambiente Cascais municipal company and head of the Quinta do Pisão Nature Park. You will get the opportunity to hear how João and his team are working to create a living landscape where nature and human activities interact in harmony, promoting and providing services for both the community and visitors.

In addition, you will get a chance to learn about the initiative's future plans and discover how rewilding doesn’t have to be only in remote areas but can actually bring wildlife to your door as João explains it.
