Figure 9. The spatial distribution across Europe of the number of bird species considered in this study in the 1980s (a) and at present (b),
and the spatial distribution of expansion and contraction of bird species’ ranges across Europe since the 1980s, expressed as number
of species gaining (c) or losing (d) distribution area. The quality of species distribution data in Russia is poor, due to low coverage, and
therefore Russia was not included in this analysis.
A so-called ”soft release” of a young bison into a
temporary enclosure in the Bieszczady National
Park in Poland, one of Europe’s rewilding areas.
The European bison is rarer than the Black rhino in
Africa, but still each year many dozens of individuals
are shot, just because there are not enough areas
that are prepared to receive them.
