Wolves, brown bears and white-tailed eagles are among the top predators making a comeback across Europe, according to a major report that looks at how some wildlife is rebounding.![]()

The grey wolf has been the fastest to return among carnivores. For centuries they were killed by humans, until a low-point during the 1970s when there were only a few populations hanging on in pockets of south and north-eastern Europe. Since the introduction of legislation to protect them, and more public tolerance of living alongside them, numbers have increased by 1,800%. There are 17,000 individuals roaming almost all of continental Europe, with calls to reintroduce them to Britain too.![]()

Despite the positive findings, wildlife is still being lost at record speed across the planet, with 1 million species at risk of extinction and the vast majority of protected landscapes in Europe in poor or bad condition. Although many of these species have shown recovery in the past 40 or so years, it follows centuries of decline, so none of them have reached the numbers they would have been at historically.
