  • A water tiger, the diving beetle in it's larval form, attack a large dragonfly nymph, Danube  Delta, Romania. Photographed at night. The flat and square head is equipped with a strong pair of large pincers. Their usual prey includes tadpoles.<br />
<br />
Dytiscidae are a family of water beetles. They have short, but sharp mandibles. Immediately upon biting they deliver digestive enzymes. The larvae are commonly known as water tigers. The family has not been comprehensively cataloged since 1920, but is estimated to include about 4 000 species in over 160 genera.

  • The sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) at Danube Delta Eco-Tourism Museum Center, aquarium in Tulcea, Danube Delta, Romania (captive). It is a mall species of sturgeon native to large rivers that flow into the Black Sea, Azov Sea and Caspian Sea, as well as rivers in Siberia. Populations migrating between fresh- and saltwater (anadromous) suffering due to overfishing (for its flesh, caviar and isinglass), pollution and dams. The sterlet has declined throughout its native range and is considered vulnerable by the IUCN. There are ongoing re-stocking projects and it has been introduced to some regions outside its native range, but the latter have generally not become self-sustaining.

  • Cork oak mosaique landscape PORTUGAL/FAIA BRAVA NATURE RESERVE, CÔA VALLEY, DOURO The Faia Brava reserve is part of the greater Côa valley and one of the wildest areas in Portugal. Here the traditional small-scale agriculture and shepherd life is rapidly disappearing and lands are becoming abandoned. In 2011, Portugal had some 2 million hectares of abandoned farmland, and across the EU each year another million hectares of low-yield farm and pasture lands are being abandoned. This has many reasons, but mainly it seems to be because young Europeans simply don’t want to be goatherds, shepherds or subsistence farmers any more, instead preferring the more comfortable life in a town or a city. The old farm and pasture lands now rapidly turn into dense bush, and a lot of species disappear that are connected to the open landscapes. The risk for devastating forest fires also increases a lot with much more dry bush matter available in the landscape. The Rewilding Europe initiative is about trying to turn these problems into opportunities instead. Can we use nature in new ways, that might be even more respectful to nature itself and at the same time more profitable for man? Especially since several of the traditional ways most obviously are not working anymore in quite large areas of Europe. The Faia Brava nature reserve is part of the Rewilding Europe initiative and it is owned and run by Associação Transumância e Natureza (ATN). The Côa valley is the largest outdoor rock carving site in Europe, with carvings dating from 35,000 years ago up to present. The main theme of these carvings is very clear: aurochs, wild horses, ibex and red deer. All of them extinct today in the area, but also all on the list for reintroduction through the Rewilding Europe initiative. Photo: Staffan Widstrand/Wild Wonders of Europe

  • Bugling red deer stag, Cervus elaphus, DENMARK/KLAMPENBORG, COPENHAGEN, The red deer is the most emblematic of all European animals. It is depicted in countless cave paintings, rock carvings, and in the coats-of-arms of noblemen, towns, regions and businesses. It lives in habitats from treeless moorlands to semi-deserts, but was hunted to, and in some areas over the verge of extinction. During the 1800s the red deer survived in many countries only in large royal hunting grounds, like the one where this photo was taken. It is now coming back in numbers, thanks to reintroductions and better hunting regulations.

  • Eurasian Brown Bear, Ursus arctos.Suomussalmi, Finland.Brown bear (Ursus arctos), FINLAND/MARTINSELKONEN, SUOMUSSALMI, KAINUU. Ten years ago, most Europeans who wanted to see bears, went to Alaska. Now they can instead go to Finland, Sweden or Romania, who all have large and growing bear populations, and ecotourism operators who will take you to see the bears from permanent hides. Bears were once found throughout the continent and even inhabited the British Isles until the 10th century. This is the same species as the North American Grizzly, and has made a remarkable comeback throughout much of Europe. Today, the European parts of Russia has by far the largest bear population (c 36,000), followed in order by Romania (6-7,000), Sweden (2,500) the Balkans (2,500-3,000) and Finland (1,000).
