Long-term vision
LHNet's focus is to preserve and restore all large herbivores in Eurasia in the wild, so that they are visible to a broad public. This includes the step-by-step realization of a well connected network of landscapes, which may well take 100 years, or even longer, to guarantee sustainable populations in balanced ecosystems.
LHNet stands for: 'A Eurasian continent, where people enjoy the benefits from ecosystems and landscapes, inhabited and shaped by viable populations of all large herbivores of the region, living in the wild'.

About the 35 species
With the help of IUCN and our expert network a first overview of all 35 large herbivore species has been created in the species database. The database contains information on the biology, ecology and distribution of the species in 57 countries, but also on the carnivores and the vultures. It is vital that these fact sheets are kept up to date in order to be able to react to urgent situations. This will stimulate the protection and rehabilitation of large herbivores through projects and other initiatives.
