The brown #bear, the Eurasian #lynx, the gray #wolf and the #wolverine are back to #Europe! The European situation showcases that it is possible for large #carnivores and people to share the same landscapes. “Who knew that Europe today hosts twice as many wolves (>11,000) as the contiguous United States (~5,500) and that the brown bear is the most abundant large carnivore in Europe, with an estimated number of 17,000 individuals?’’ says Frans Schepers, Managing Director of @RewildingEurope. ”These are staggering figures and provide not only challenges but also a lot of opportunities for Europeans, to enjoy this #wildlife comeback which we have also seen in many other large mammal and bird species over the last 40-50 years, across Europe’’.
