Rewilding our Planet (2019 Portugal) We are a group of young residents who found, and built, our homes in the Pinhal Interior region of Central Portugal. We came here from all corners of Portugal, Europe and have even crossed oceans to inhabit the abandoned farms, revive the neglected fields and reforest the depleted mountain slopes. We left our privileged city lives behind because in a world that is currently so out of balance, that comfort zone didn’t feel right to us any longer.

Our aim is to present a pilot project that focuses on local cultural and natural heritage and especially the abundance of non-timber forest produce. A small economic hub consisting of an education center, research farm, food lab, accommodation and meeting/work place that's open to the public should eventually provide in revenue to maintain the the natural native forest and landscape reserves for wildlife to thrive. – Lynn Mylou
