Due to the drought, large areas of Kansas that are often lush and green are now bone dry, which is predicted to affect various bird species that migrate through the region.
Brown bears and wolves are among the animals making an "exciting" comeback in Europe. Exclusive: Report on species recovery demonstrates the value of reintroductions, habitat restoration, and legal protection.
Detailed Analysis
According to a significant analysis that examines how certain species are reviving, one of the top predators making a return in Europe are wolves, brown bears, and white-tailed eagles.
To demonstrate how effective legal protection, habitat restoration, and reintroductions may spur species recovery, researchers examined data on 50 animal species whose population size and geographic range had increased over the previous 40 years.
