Answer:
Supporting wildlife comeback is a core element of our work at Rewilding Europe. We recognize the critically important ecological role of all wildlife species, regardless of their position in the food web. As a result of factors such as increased legal protection, reintroduction and population support measures, corridor creation, the mitigation of conflict and the promotion of co-existence, we have seen wildlife – particularly larger animal species – make a comeback across Europe over the last five decades.
Yet this only represents the start of what is possible, and also what is needed. With appropriate measures and an increasing tolerance of native wildlife species by man, such species will continue to increase in population size and range.

Co-existence – the way forward
With almost every European habitat still below its ideal state in terms of natural population densities and dynamics, we continue to face many challenges. Our goal is to develop and support “co-existence” models, where people can also benefit from wildlife comeback, for example through wildlife watching and nature-based tourism. This will grow the acceptance of wildlife returning and will support co-existence.
Rewilding can create favourable conditions for the spontaneous comeback of numerous wildlife species – this is by far the most important tool for wildlife recovery in our operational areas. This can involve reducing hunting quotas or creating hunting-free areas, combatting poisoning and poaching, mitigating conflict and damage, protecting nesting, denning or breeding sites, and by creating incentives for people to appreciate local wildlife.
We therefore invest significant effort, time and money in supporting wildlife comeback in all of our areas. This is achieved not only by creating the right conditions for such comeback to happen naturally, but also through active measures such as reintroduction, population enhancement and species protection.

Wildlife comeback in our rewilding areas
At a species level we have observed a stable or slight increase in the brown bear populations of the Velebit Mountains and Southern Carpathians, while the first bear sightings have also been recorded in the Rhodope Mountains. Iberian wolves are returning to the Greater Côa Valley in Portugal, while the Oder Delta sees the comeback of Elk and European bison. We also see expansion and increase of golden jackal numbers in the Danube Delta, Rhodope Mountains and Velebit Mountains.
The elk is a regular species in Swedish Lapland, but the population dynamics are heavily influenced by hunting. Red deer numbers are also increasing in the Oder Delta, while populations have started to grow in the Rhodope and Velebit Mountains after our releases there. The griffon vulture population in the Rhodope Mountains is increasing slowly, while in the same area the threatened Egyptian vulture population now boasts the highest number of breeding pairs in the last five years. In 2016 an Iberian lynx was spotted for the first time in Portugal’s Côa Valley, indicating the potential attraction of this area to the world’s most endangered cat species.
These examples show there are strong indicators of positive trends in the populations of many species across our rewilding areas.

European Wildlife Bank
Launched in 2013, the European Wildlife Bank is designed to facilitate the reintroduction and restocking of herbivores to rewilding areas across the continent. It has already proven successful, supplying animals to 21 sites across Europe. The bank itself has prospered, increasing to around 1020 animals since the start of the programme.
Expansion of natural grazing across rewilding areas and in areas that are part of the European Rewilding Network will be a key priority over the coming years, to safeguard this vital component of European ecosystems. It is important to realise that in all the areas where natural grazing takes place, there is natural predation, in particular by wolves.
Answer:
For research purposes and studies of anatomy, physiology, ecology, evolutionary aspects; wild animals are used, which help in saving human life. Next, if we protect wildlife we are protecting forests. It means we are combating land degradation and making the environment clean, green and healthy. please mark as brilliant
