About us

Promote naturalness and rewilding, and protect spaces with a high degree of naturalness.

Our objectives

Our priority objectives are :

1. The promotion and development of the concepts of naturalness and rewilding among professionals, institutions and the general public by taking positions on current issues and organising training courses and excursions.

2. The protection and active defence of sites with a high degree of naturalness in Belgium and the creation of large integral reserves so that naturalness can be freely expressed there.

3. Participating in the defence of natural forests around the world by making people discover the richness of these areas and supporting the actions of local associations that defend them.

We implement them through several activities

Conferences and film debates

We offer a series of lectures or film debates on issues related to forests, ecology and the wilderness.

Excursions

Thematic visits are regularly organised, in Belgium or abroad, by the association or by our partners.

Training courses

We organise targeted training courses on the functioning of the forest, rewilding practices, the evaluation of naturalness criteria and the identification and understanding of ecological processes in natural forests.
