But megafauna returning alongside top predators is crucial of course, especially in our countries.

All for it...in the UK weve become so safe from wildlife.... Bit of natural danger to respect is a good thing....keep us in our rightful place!

The irony is that it probably makes countries safer. Less diseases in wildlife populations, no overpopulation leading to constant clashes with hoofed animals and cars, and with reintroduction of top predators and megafauna comes the pressure to purchase more land, arable land most of it, to establish biodiversity increasing woodland (no plantations)

And ultimately, more nature to discover and less Conservative lobbyist farmers.

A few wolves have been spotted the last couple of years in NL, already there is talk of allowing to shoot them..

Typical! So no understanding of why they are there then.....just straight to shoot them

Yep, no understanding at all. No admiration either

For the last decades we've had increasing wolf migration into Denmark, this is largely due to the fact that the EU, despite its flaws, has been successful in establishing more woodland in central Europe, leading to Polish wolves migration up the northern border of Germany and into Denmark. The far right called for culling them right away, and farmers being mostly money hungry, bile infested turds (I come from a farming family) they said regardless of the law they'd shoot them like they cull foxes and raccoon dogs (the latter being an actual invasive species)

We probably have a few established packs up here now, but with an ability to travel the distance of 40 to 50 kilometers overnight, its likely that they often do a fair bit of border crossing here, and may return to Germany and Poland frequently.

We have an invasive species round our way.....mink.....about 20 years ago animal rights activists thought it'd be a good idea to brake into a mink farm and release into the wild 30 mating pairs
But really who are we to class any species as invasive ....irony to the max.

Yeah, American Mink have helped drive European Mink nearly into extinction. They wreak havoc and are hard to get rid of, the right option is what the UK did, by reestablishing beaver and polecat populations, essentially breaking the minks monopoly on the river banks.

It is strange but if you are out in the woods with more biodiversity, with top predators and everything, you can really feel it. You feel the mountains are alive.
