Film-Matinée: Wildes Land - Die Rückkehr zur Natur

How can life return? By letting nature do its thing. The film "Wild Land", which was released in cinemas in the fall of 2024, illustrates this - and gives a lot of hope. Nebenan & Unverpackt is showing it in cooperation with the Neue Rex on Sunday, February 2, as a matinee from 11 am. It tells a true story: Knepp Castle, the country estate in southern England that Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell have farmed intensively for years, is no longer profitable - despite all the subsidies. The soil has become infertile and biodiversity is dwindling.

Twenty-five years ago, the couple decided to do things differently, or let nature do it. Today, Knepp Castle is so rich in species that even experts are surprised. In 2020, storks bred there again - for the first time in the UK in 600 years. Knepp Estate is considered one of the most important rewilding projects in Europe. In her bestseller "Wild Land", Isabella Tree described the story of the transformation from intensive agriculture to lush nature, and the film, which is also suitable for children, shows a summary. Admission costs eight or nine euros.

Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to talk to biologist Dr. Harald Rösch, science editor at the Max Planck Society. As a volunteer at the Landesbund für Vogel- und Naturschutz, he can provide information about an area in the west of Munich where rewilding would be possible. But he also knows how rewilding can work in the smallest of spaces, namely in your own garden. Biologist Ingrid Hügenell from nebenan & unverpackt will host the discussion.
