Rewilding Portugal and The Lifescape Project publish landmark legal report charting a path for private land conservation in Portugal

Rewilding Portugal and The Lifescape Project are pleased to announce the completion and publication of a major report, Legal Mechanism for Conservation and Restoration in Europe: Examples and Lessons for Portugal. Commissioned by Rewilding Portugal and authored by Lifescape, the report addresses one of the most persistent obstacles to nature restoration in Portugal: the absence of a legal tool dedicated to conservation and its ancillary objectives, capable of securing long-term commitments on privately owned land, regardless of future changes in ownership.
