Lecture room Björken at SLU, Umeå
The symposium is organized by the ECOS research school and aims to describe and stimulate discussion of trophic rewilding as part of large mammal restoration.
In a series of four talks, researchers from different parts of the world will present examples and their views on the benefits and challenges associated with trophic rewilding from ecological, social and economic perspectives. All welcome!
