On the 1st of July 2010 the Large Herbivore Foundation (LHF) joined the ECNC-European Centre for Nature Conservation.
During its short history (1998-2009), the Large Herbivore Foundation, LHF (and its predecessor "The Large Herbivore Initiative, LHI") has been an advocate for promoting the strategic, ecological importance of large herbivores in the wider nature conservation efforts at a landscape level ("living landscapes") as well as conserving of the large herbivore "forgotten species" across northern and central Eurasia. As such, LHF has been a real pioneer.
