Speculating on what the future may hold for the continent. As human
habitation spreads across Europe, the wildlife has had to adapt or
perish. The programme examines which species have thrived and which
suffered, and what can be done to preserve the ecosystem. While many
animals have adjusted to urban living remarkably well, larger predators,
such as wolves, bears and lynx have become rarer as civilisation has
expanded. Plus, how climate change and the introduction of new wildlife
through international trade could lead to further surprises in years to
come.
