Hortobagy National Park has many other conservation concerns to (try to) deal with

Can you give me more info about that?
Also I'll tag @Dima in case he wants to reply.

When a population of a species has disappeared, it's possible to reintroduce it, using individuals from elsewhere, on the express condition that the causes of its local disappearance have been eliminated.
The Auroch is an extinct species, although we're tinkering with backwards selection

in reply to bellule • •I see what you mean. I am unsure how they define an extinct species here - maybe they mean a species is extinct from a particular environment, or all natural environments, but still exists in captivity. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinct_…
For sure I agree that if the causes of extinction are not dealt with, reintroducing it is probably not going to work.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurochs I see what you mean.
