Europe: Home (Again) to Bears and Wolves

Humans have lived in Europe for thousands of years, and, as a result, the continent is littered with ancient churches, castles and relics of successes and failures of our cultural history. But many North Americans might not realize that the continent also offers opportunity to witness wolves, bears and wildlife that generally evokes Alaska’s wide open landscapes. Photographer Staffan Widstrand explains that over the years, Europeans have become more tolerant of living near large wildlife and, because of this nature-friendly perspective, Europe is “having a major wildlife comeback.”
