Nature in border and military areas can profit of the relative absence of human activities and ditto presence. But for larger herbivores especially, I can imagine the obstacles.

Stay independant and not-for-profit, and you will survive.

Hahaha, dat kan nog steeds natuurlijk. Woensdag komen ze binnen.
Ach en wie weet, als ik budget vind, zou ik er een pak mee naar Mongolië kunnen nemen komende zomer, voor het kinderziekenhuis.
