The WILDESCAPE EU project seeks to address the urgent need for biodiversity conservation and sustainable tourism across the European Union. By focusing on preserving natural habitats and endangered species in the partner countries Italy, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, and Cyprus and beyond, the project aligns with key EU policies, such as the Green Deal and the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. It also builds on the EU’s long-standing efforts to protect wildlife through directives on the conservation of birds and natural habitats. The project leverages the growing demand for nature-based tourism, which has increased significantly as people seek tranquil, outdoor destinations. By promoting responsible travel that enhances ecological diversity and supports local communities, WILDESCAPE EU addresses both environmental and economic priorities, making it a vital initiative for sustainable development.
