About
Every day I see how large herbivores are, in addition to processes of water and wind, essential for maintaining a landscape rich in structures en species. This seems to be forgotten by many conservationists. I would like to help in any way possible to re-awaken the awareness and expertise on the ecological role of large herbivores as well as appreciation of their natural wildness as animals. I am especially interested in the implementation of change and actual reintroduction in specific areas, not just academic discussions on, for instance, the definition of wilderness.
