In parallel with the incredible natural values of the region, the Greater Côa Valley represents a unique opportunity to apply the principles of rewilding in the region due to the high levels of rural abandonment. This opportunity can be exploited by taking a large-scale perspective of the landscape, working to improve connectivity between natural areas and, at the same time, supporting sustainable business models in the region that can stimulate local economies and bring additional value to communities in the area. Rewilding Portugal is managing 3 areas in the Greater Côa Valley, under the conservation principles of rewilding. Our Rewilding tours include the visit to the Greater Côa Valley and the rewilding areas.
