Thanks to our ongoing collaboration with Rewilding Portugal, we have successfully introduced a herd of Tauros to the sanctuary as part of our commitment to restoring native biodiversity and natural grazing dynamics.<\/p><p>The\u00a0Tauros\u00a0is a keystone species, playing a vital role in shaping landscapes through natural grazing. These animals are part of the\u00a0Tauros\u00a0Programme, which seeks to restore the ecological role of the extinct aurochs (Bos primigenius) by selectively breeding modern cattle with primitive traits. By doing so, we can bring back a species that once maintained open habitats, controlled shrub encroachment, and contributed to a resilient ecosystem.

Over the next 3\u20135 years, our rewilding efforts will focus on:<\/p><p><strong>1.<\/strong> <strong>Expanding natural grazing<\/strong>: Increasing the population of\u00a0Tauros\u00a0and previously introduced Sorraia horses while introducing additional grazers like the European bison and the Critically Endangered Somali wild ass, adding greater diversity to the ecological balance we hope to achieve.<\/p><p><strong>2.<\/strong> <strong>Improving habitat connectivity<\/strong>: Gradually removing fences to allow for more natural movement of species and the creation of a truly wild landscape.<\/p><p><strong>3. Reducing wildfire risk<\/strong>: Strengthening natural fire prevention strategies by allowing grazers to regulate vegetation growth and maintain open habitats.<\/p><p><strong>4.<\/strong> <strong>Enhancing rotational grazing strategies<\/strong>: Using a carefully designed system to maximize biodiversity benefits, ensuring a natural balance between grazing pressure and habitat recovery.<\/p><h3><strong>What\u2019s Next?<\/strong><\/h3><p>To ensure a smooth transition, the Tauros will first settle in a designated grazing area alongside the Sorraia horses, with provisions in place to support their adaptation. By April, they will be introduced to a larger, fully naturalized grazing area, where they can contribute to the restoration of Pangea\u2019s ecosystems for years to come.
