No Paradise with Wolves
A Journey of Rewilding and Resilience
By Katie Stacey
-
In 2018, Katie and her boyfriend, Luke, moved to Asturias, Northern Spain, in search of a home. As conservation storytellers, they were drawn to the story of the Iberian wolf - a much-maligned creature facing relentless persecution right on their doorstep. But as they delved deeper, they discovered that the story was far more complex than they had imagined. While searching, they found a dilapidated old dairy farm, which they purchased with a vision to rewild its surrounding land. They named their new home Wild Finca and soon realized that promoting coexistence with wolves - and all wildlife - wasnt about exposing the darker aspects of the relationship but about proving that living alongside wildlife was truly possible by doing it themselves.
