"The Oder Delta, which is divided between Poland and Germany on the Baltic
coast, is a unique region boasting a rich mosaic of terrestrial, marine, and
freshwater ecosystems, strategically located on one of Europe’s ecological
crossroads. Ongoing rewilding actions here have seen wildlife begin to thrive
in more natural densities, with restored natural processes such as the free
flow of water helping to reshape the landscape.
Today, species such as elk, wolf, grey seal, and beaver are naturally
recolonising the delta – supported by the Rewilding Oder Delta team’s efforts
to enhance human-wildlife co-existence on both the Polish and German side –
while European bison and Eurasian lynx are gradually moving westwards towards
the delta from Poland. Rewilding efforts are restoring the delta’s rivers and
streams, with the team working to rewet wetlands, plant riverside trees, and
remove barriers and restore spawning grounds to support the return of fish and
other aquatic species. Nature-based tourism is developing too, with the
increasing number of visitors drawn to the delta to see its recovering wildlife
species delivering socio-economic benefits to local residents."
