Why settle for a barren world? Discover the growing significance of rewilding nature as we combat biodiversity loss and climate change with a film screening of Organiseret Vildskab and panel discussion with the director, Phie Ambo. Added bonus, your ticket to this event grants you full access to the Copenhagen Photo Festival from 1 - 11 of June at Refshaleøen.

In Denmark, we have only half to 2 percent of wild nature left. This makes us the second most cultivated country in the world.

That is why the film, Organiseret Vildskab, was created. Its intention is to be a magnifying glass on how we can rewild Denmak, to reach the goal of 30% protected nature (land and sea) by 2030, and make us curious about what Danish nature really is.

Join us in the screening of Organiseret Vildskab followed a panel discuss with the director, Phie Ambo.

We are excited to share a conversation around how can we rewild Denmark, what will the transformation realistically look like and how can individual citizens do their part to ensure we get there.

What is ‘Organiseret vildskab’ about?

Denmark is, after Bangladesh, the most cultivated country in the world. This can be seen in our biodiversity, which has plummeted since the 1980s. We actually have less than two percent of wild nature left in Denmark, and something must now be done about that.

The Danish Nature Foundation has acquired a large area in Hammer Bakker with production forest, which is to be converted into wild nature with large grasses, butterflies and, with a little luck; a golden eagle or two. It is Denmark's largest forest project and the rewilding of Hammer Bakker in a way forms a kind of vanguard for the 15 nature national parks that the government has decided must be created in the future.

Organiseret Vildskab is about the process in which we all – both humans and animals – must participate in order to save the pieces of Danish nature.

Because how do you make something wild that has been tamed for so long?

Organiseret Vildskab is about how we humans can be included in the great narrative that is of nature.
