In Romania’s Southern Carpathians, rewilding is not theory but lived reality. In this first instalment of our In Conversation With series, Professor Alastair Driver reflects on tracking European bison, witnessing extraordinary biodiversity and spending time with the conservationists restoring one of Europe’s last great wild landscapes. From intimate small-group access to hopeful models of nature recovery, this journey reveals what becomes possible when travel connects us directly to the people and places shaping a more regenerative future.
