Aurochs 7-28-24

Aurochs, the ancestor of modern cattle, are being rewilded in Europe to preserve biodiversity. The Tauros Programme in the Netherlands selectively breeds the modern descendants of aurochs to graze naturally and maintain open landscapes. Aurochs can have a positive impact on ecosystems, making them a strong candidate for reintroduction. Success in auroch reintroduction depends on various factors, including adapting to the local climate and predators, but the Tauros Programme provides a promising start. https://www.mossy.earth/rewilding-knowledge/aurochs-rewilding
