There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Looking at this map of Africa, we can clearly see how the Barbary lion, the Barbary leopard, and the Atlas bear were separated from South Africa by thousands of square miles of hot burning sand. I'm not too keen on introducing wild animals into lands where the species had never lived. However, if tigers can be introduced into Africa, then why not grizzlies? There are environments south of the Sahara Desert where grizzlies would thrive. Some choices in sub-species might be Syrian brown bears and Gobi bears.
