Stefanie Huck

Advisory Board

A pioneering advocate for rewilding, Stefanie has dedicated her life’s work to advancing both science and education within this evolving field. Her expertise spans hands-on conservation, research and public engagement, with a particular focus on the protection and recovery of wildcat populations.

Stefanie’s key contributions include wildlife rehabilitation, where she rescues and cares for injured or orphaned wildcats and prepares them for successful release back into the wild. She leads and contributes to nationwide research and monitoring programmes, conducting scientific studies that deepen understanding of wildcat behaviour, ecology and distribution. Through conservation advocacy, she promotes the long-term survival of wildcat species by combining practical fieldwork with targeted public education initiatives.

In addition to her field-based work, Stefanie is a sought-after speaker, delivering lectures on wildcat behaviour and ecology. She also designs and leads training courses for professionals and nature enthusiasts, focusing on species identification, initial care and rehabilitation techniques. Her active involvement in multiple transnational research projects further reflects her commitment to collaborative, science-led conservation.

Dedicated to building public support for wildlife conservation, Stefanie works closely with local communities through educational programmes and outreach initiatives. By fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world, she ensures her projects not only benefit wildlife, but also enrich the lives of people living alongside these remarkable species.
