Artificial Nature or Natural Artificiality: Milovice grazing reserve, Czech Republic
<p>A few years ago, part of a former military area was repopulated with bison, wild horses and aurochs, the latter of which was back-bred after the last one went extinct five hundred years ago. Once the area was exclusively reserved as a home for ancient animal species, scientists were surprised at the tremendous increase in biodiversity. The Milovice reserve, however, is not just an incentive to romanticize the wilderness, but also to explore possible futures for the landscape. Could its release from its productive function help transform the way the ecosystems function?</p>
