Signs of hope

This program struck me for its subtle presentation of something amazing: the gradual recovery of some iconic European species in the wilds of France. It’s easy to assume that here in central Europe we’ve lost our large predators and a big chunk of our biodiversity in general. To some extent this is true, but what is also true is that persistent efforts by conservationists are showing incredibly impressive results such as the re-introduction of bears and vultures to some regions of France. While we hear every day of extinctions and habitat destruction, it’s easy to overlook the positive work going on right on our doorstep to ensure that there are still wild places for the benefit of us and all the species that inhabit them.
