Glad to be celebrating 2 years since Mammal Conservation Europe was founded, and 4.5 years since we first met to discuss the idea of it!

The Netherlands has more breeding wolf packs than Norway! The wolf's amazing recolonisation of Europe, and its entanglement in politics and culture wars, is being discussed now by John Linnell at our 1st annual meeting. #wolves #wildlife #hunting #nature Rewilding Europe

19 years ago Iberian Lynx were in danger of extinction. But a breeding program started & Monday is 19th anniversary of the 1st captive bred Lynx being born. Back then, only 150 Lynx existed, now wild population in Spain is around 1700. Predators can come back if we let them.

What better way to celebrate #WorldRewildingDay than to watch a bunch of baby #WildBoar in the Forest of Dean – where boar are back after centuries of absence – taking it in turns to jump over a puddle?
