A platform to inspire and guide rewilding efforts
We are proud to introduce Vildmarken.dk, a knowledge portal and a network dedicated to nature restoration, using rewilding as a method.
Vildmarken.dk (in English: The Wilderness) is rooted in Hempel Foundation’s Saksfjed Wilderness on Lolland—one of Denmark’s most ambitious rewilding projects.
Where farming and forestry dominated until 2023, the landscape is now evolving into a wilderness with open woodlands, flower-rich grasslands with scattered vegetation, wet meadows, and other wetlands—all made possible through rewilding.
The landscape engineers are nearly 200 Galloway oxen and Exmoor horses, roaming freely and shaping the 800-hectare area.
The new website is designed to gather and share the latest research, insights, and practical tools for biodiversity conservation. By working with an evidence-based approach and learning from real-world experiences, the platform aims to support and inspire those engaged in rewilding and nature restoration.
The purpose of this platform is to bring biodiversity to the forefront and accelerate change in collaboration with partners. Partnerships and the development of best practices are at the core of our approach, aiming to inspire concrete, evidence-based action for biodiversity conservation.
We invite you to explore the platform, find inspiration, and use it as a resource to deepen your understanding of restoring nature.
