Collettivo Rewild Sicily

Collective Rewild Sicily was born from a specific need: to make Sicily a greener, wilder, and a more conscious place. We work on small projects that are meant to be practical, easily repeatable and regenerate small local communities and their love for the land they live in.

We act to build a better world, simple and in small steps. We think globally and act locally, in this magical island where every corner is a wonder. We do this mainly by trying to decrease the conflict between Man and the Earth.

Our tools are agroforestry, firefighting, regenerative grazing, and rewilding (regeneration of natural processes).

Ongoing Projects

We work on a project basis and thrive create meaningful synergies among them

Anti-Wildfire Summer Camp

Training guerrilla fire fighters in Sicily's local communities. Our summer camp not only provided activist training, but also provided equipment, a professional AIB training and hold big future plans for landscape rigeneration.

Sicily's Indigenous CyberTrackers

Exploring how ‘indigenous’ knowledge about wildlife and fire regimes can be aggregated using CyberTracker co-creating datadriven landscape management supporting Rewilding.

Rewilding Guide Training

Sicily's first training of its kind: how to become a rewilding nature guide! Participants are trained in a 4-day immersive nature experience using the methodology CyberTracker – an international standard for wildlife tracking.

A Goat's Food Forest

A lighthouse project putting two promising nature-based solutions in synergy: food forest and holistic grazing management.

Rewildfires

Rewildfires – a free research project on wildfires in Sicily and how Rewilding and regenerative grazing can be allies in creating more resilient landscapes – stewarded by its human community

Initiatives

Our initiatives are here to stay and provide long-term guidance for out project making strategy.

Free Rivers

Rivers are the blood vanes of our planet Earth. But we have distorted, exploited and channeled them, so that we loose fresh water and hinder fish migration. We work for dam removal, ecological restoration and fish species monitoring.

Anti-Wildfire

Wildfires are the ONE determining factor for rewilding actions in Sicily. We work on short-term immediate response actions as well as long-term landscape regeneration in order to make Sicily less vulnerable to wildfires and people ready to respond.

Ecological Monitoring

We cannot rewild what we don't know well. But quality and timely data is scarse and often not accessible. With approaches from Citizen Science we create open access databases and enable custodians of the territory for data tracking.
