The reasons for this are manifold: the EU’s nature conservation policy or the increasing urbanization that creates more space for wild animals in the countryside.

The series takes a look at newly restored wild areas in the heart of Europe and formerly extinct animal species, which are introduced by biologists back into their natural habitat and thus create scarcely noticed natural treasures.
