My hope is that you will continue reading in order to find out what “The Circle of Life” has to do with microfinance and Kiva.įirst off, let me introduce you to the place, which is not Africa.
Hopefully I did not pull you into this blog under false pretenses but unfortunately the title is the only relation to the famous Disney movie. The phrase “The Circle of Life”, for individuals of my age demographic, typically conjures up images of Timon and Pumba. We are focusing on the recovery and further expansion of the black and griffon vulture populations in the Rhodope Mountains (Bulgaria) as well as the Greater Côa Valley (Portugal), and soon in Velebit Mountains (Croatia) and Central Apennines (Italy).Ĭhoose this cause to help Europe's lords of the skies take to the air once again.9 September 2011 at 05:08 The Musings of a Sponge 8 comments Three of these species are found in five of the rewilding areas where we work. donation_text: Rewilding Europe is working in various ways to support the recovery of vulture populations in our areas, as a flagship species of healthy food chains and functioning ecosystems.įour species of vulture are found in Europe (griffon, cinereous/black, Egyptian and bearded).There is also an in-depth look at the Rhodope Mountains – Rewilding Europe’s flagship area for vulture rewilding – where 450 fallow deer and 130 red deer are now roaming after multiple reintroductions and 308 griffon vultures have fledged over the last five years.ĭiscover the Circle of Life Want to know more?
These chart the recovery of vultures in Europe (following a long decline), the reintroduction of herbivores such as European bison, deer and primitive horses in Rewilding Europe’s operational areas, efforts to change the way herbivore carcasses are managed across Europe, and measures to strengthen the economic and cultural connection between the Circle of Life and people. The latest impact story comprises a number of sections, each illustrated with maps, images and infographics. Going forwards these efforts will continue as rewilding is scaled up across the continent.
Over the last 10 years, Rewilding Europe and partners have worked hard to restore the circle, with a focus on important species such as vultures and herbivores, as well as through the creation of a more supportive policy environment. In many parts of Europe human influence on the landscape mean the Circle of Life is broken or weakened, negatively impacting wildlife populations and degrading nature’s ability to look after us.
