Nature Film Wednesday / European Wildlife Film Awards: The Return of the Aurochs
- Movie, Cinema, TV
The film is about the adventurous attempt to reintroduce the aurochs, which lived in Europe for thousands of years and was wiped out 400 years ago. Using state-of-the-art technology, the film shows, among other things, how aurochs raise their young, protect themselves from predators and contribute to the preservation of their habitat.

The EWFA is the first wildlife film competition to exclusively honour documentaries about European wildlife. Presented by the German Wildlife Foundation, there are a total of six award categories. 245 films were submitted for the first competition in 2025. A jury of experts from the fields of nature conservation, media, science and culture selected the winners in the categories of wildlife, biodiversity, nature conservation and storytelling. Cinema-goers also had the opportunity to rate the films. They voted for the best short film and decide on the Audience Award, which will be presented for the first time in 2026.
