Check out our new letter in Conservation Biology where we argue that (re-)introduced large herbivores are often wrongly framed as harmful because herbivory is automatically equated with ecological damage - overlooking their potential to restore biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

I 1900-tallet måtte en gårdskarl kun få laks fem gange om ugen. Hans kontrakt fortæller noget vigtigt om vores natur
Både vores kulturelle forståelse af dansk natur før i tiden og den naturvidenskabelige dokumentation af samme er stærkt begrænset. Men eksempelvis en ansættelseskontrakt fra begyndelsen af 1900-tallet...
