@sueellenfast
The Aurochs are gone. It will be an experiment to put the backbreds (Tauros) into this habitat, not so much a rewilding. Part of me is interested, but the rest of me sees another fragile "reserve" for special people to access, easily plundered if someone decides to. People need to be integrated into their environments in order to value them. Some reserved area somewhere that you can't go unless you're David Attenborough...again.
